How did you find Zazzle?
It's think I found it at Shutterstock. But I'm not 100% sure.

How long have you been Zazzling?
Early in 2010. But in a serious way from november 2011.

What made you decide to open your own store?
I create my own vector graphics to license through Royalty Free Images Stock Agencies. When I saw Zazzle I thought it will be a great idea to apply my illustrations on producst.
As a graphic designer I found it a nice challenge: illustrating and designing my own products.

What was your first sale?
Some stickers.

For most each product or design they create is special. What is your most favourite design and why?
This one: http://www.zazzle.com/caring_mother_sticker-217034860385796188
When I was the heart shaped sticker, first illustration I thought was my lovely mommy hugging her new born.

What is your favourite aspect about Zazzle?
The possibilty to apply my illustrations in a ever growing catalog of products.

How much time do you devote to Zazzle daily/weekly?
I try to create products every day. An hour or two (with promotion). It depends.
I will love to dedicate more but I have to create illustrations everyday or I will not have any material to create products 

What are three things everyone should know about you?
I put a lot of love on everything I do.
Love collecting cute dolls and plushies, artbooks and kawaii things.
I die of love when I see cutie dogs and lovely animals on my walks.

If you could purchase ANY item (of someone else’s) what would it be? Why?
http://www.zazzle.com/zodiac_gemini_gemini_sticker-217198359077685131
I'm Gemini and I think this is one of the best interpretations of this zodiacal sign.

If you were an animal, what kind would you be and why?
A bird. Because they are rounded and fluffy.

If you came across a puddle you would …
a) jump in it, viewers be *ed!
b) walk around it, these loafers be new!
c) stop for a moment, take a look around then remember you’re not 5 anymore … walk on and remember the good ol days.

B. Not necessary care about my shoes but I don't want to get my feet wet. I always have cold feet. And I hate it!

If you could trade places with anyone, real or fictional, alive or dead who would it be? Why?
I don't want to trade places with anyone in special but if I have to choose ... I will be a heroine of a school manga. I love school stories.

If Hollywood wanted to make a movie about you, who would you want to play the lead role? Why?
Mmm... I don't specially admire any Hollywood star. 
Maybe it can be one like Scarlet Johanson or Kate Winslet. It will be ok.

If someone wrote a book about you, what do you think the title should be?
Rainbow Mermaid Monster.
