I wanted to become an illustrator as a child.

That's why I ended up going to Lancaster University, because they had a visual arts course, and in the first year it was like a broad visual arts course in sculpture, painting, graphics - all of that.

I'd like to work on putting art programs back in schools.

I've gone to school for business, for design, for architecture.

I went to a private school in Singapore and they had an incredible arts program. Every day I was doing something artistic.

I grew up wanting only to be an illustrator. I studied art at Laurel School in Cleveland and at Smith College.

As I very much liked to draw and paint as a child, I entered a special art program in high school, which was very much like being in an art school imbedded in a regular high school curriculum.

While I was trying to save money to go to the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Australia I ended up getting all of this experience which meant that by the time I had enough money in the bank to go to school I didn't really need to go to school anymore.

I have an architecture degree; that's what my college degree is in. And that sucked. I started doing Web and CD-ROM development really early on, and then that grew into being an art director and doing advertising work.
