Designer/Owner Smart Glass Jewelry, Atlanta, GA

I am guilty of: Making cookies just to eat the dough.

Last major purchase: Two weeks of private Spanish
instruction in Peru.

I am most proud of: Living by my own rules.

Words I live by: I’d rather regret something I did, than something I didn’t do.

The world would be a better place, if only:  Agreeing to disagree was more socially acceptable than being right.

I wish I’d known: No other person’s opinion is more important than my true happiness.

The one item that has changed my life: My Diamond Lazer 7000 mac daddy glass-cutting band saw.

I can’t live without: Lip Balm—I think I might have a problem…

One thing I never want to do again: Sand sheetrock or cut my own bangs.

The food I could eat every day: Coconut Cake.

I still can’t get the hang of: Spelling. I’m horrible.

My work: Feels like play.

My passion: Is adventure in any form.

My hometown: Calthlamet, Washington (population: 600 fishermen and loggers), but I was born in Sunnyside, which is a great place to be from.

My theme song: “Still Haven’t Found What I’m looking For” by U2.

My first job: Picking blackberries.

My best friend says I am: A hip nerd.
