Here is the mini-interview I made to Virginia.

What inspires you?

I have a very huge appetite for inspiration and that means, inspirations have got to be within rich to satisfy my appetite.

So, certainly my ideas crop up from just any thing around the place I have my presence on at a given time.

And lately I have become so bound with nature and especially on wild flowers.

What is your favorite part of the surface pattern design work?

Absolute favorite is color choosing and coloring. Seeing how different color palettes choice result to different feelings is magical and I probably take ages on this part. I am learning though to limit my time as I could really spend time on coloring.

What is your big dream as a designer?

O' I have a dream and it is with no doubt to sell my designs all over the globe keeping everyone's heart warm!
