For a while after college, I was thinking of becoming a fitness trainer, and I am a certified aqua trainer.

I don't like sitting still at a desk and often conduct business on my Blackberry or in walking meetings.

Pinterest has been helpful to my business. Making inspiration boards is really key to developing products. When I was getting married, I literally cut out tear sheets and put my own boards together. Had I known about Pinterest, I would have been able to do it so much more easily.

My mom is a painter and photographer and my grandfather was an artist, so I've always been surrounded by creative people.
