Worldly former caricaturist with a hankering for cheese crackers.
What is unique that's not in your bio?
I have a huge birthmark in the shape of Pangea.
What's your favorite accomplishment?
I moved to New York with no job or apartment lined up and somehow managed to force it to work for me.
How do you define cool?
Whatever it is, it's got to be kind of off-kilter... but wry. Whatever that means.
What do you enjoy most about Trend Hunter?
I love the interface and the constant stream of new information.
How do you reset to be creative?
The thing that seems to help me the best is just taking a long walk through Manhattan for awhile; it seems to recharge my batteries.
Predict something awesome for 2020?
Hey, let's just keep the world economy from crashing and the world ending in 2012 first. Personally, I've got a nice weekend in Maine planned that summer.
