WHAT’s your day job?
Jewell Media
WHAT’s your favorite hobby?
Cooking is one of my biggest passions; it is one of the few things that can 100% de-stress me. I was never much of a baker until I had kids. You are never loved more than when you give them a warm, home-baked cookie.
WHAT are you MOST excited about for this year’s fair?
To connect with the Austin Artisan community and scratch off every name on my holiday gift list.
WHAT’s your favorite East Austin hang out?
I love to tuck myself away at Sawyer & Co. for meetings and I always jump at the chance to hang out with our friends at Rain Lily Farm. The graphic design studio I work with, Brink Creative, also resides on an Eastside Farm. The Eastside hangout list is really endless!
WHAT Austin celebrity should come shop at the CHERRYWOOD ART FAIR?
Erykah Badu (TX celebrity) – she’s also been know to break out on the spot with a jam for a good cause.
