Hometown?
Lakeville, Minnesota
Favorite spot in the Twin Cities?
The Uptown Theater — I love going to the movies and this little theater holds lots of nice memories for me. Also, Loring Park in the summer with a blanket and a book.
Coffee, tea, or cocktail (and how do you take it)?
Black coffee in the morning from Spyhouse on Nicollet. In the evening anything with Aquavit at Tattersall Distillery.
In a few words, explain your style:
Scandinavian modern meets Japanese grandmother.
Any daily rituals?
Naps. I'd take one everyday if I could. I have two cats and we all love to curl up together for an hour or so in the afternoon.
One piece of advice you’ve taken to heart:
From the indomitable Special Agent Cooper of Twin Peaks, "Everyday, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen."
