Meet Jojo
Gadgets she can live without: Microwave & TV
Always on her: Lip balm, hand lotion, and a tape measure - one of my liabilities as a designer is that I am obsessed with measurements…
Daily Drink: Yerba Mate with almond milk
Ideal vacation: Safari in East Africa, rafting in Chile, or somewhere far away inside a yurt.
Favorite flicks: Central Station, Harold and Maude, Amelie, Whale Rider, Waitress, Born into Brothels, Revolutionary Road, Run Lola Run… to name a few…
Words to lives by: “Any tool is a weapon if you hold it right.” - Ani Difranco
Addictions: Teatree oil toothpicks, my laptop, and arthouse flicks.
By her bed: Doris Lessing Stories, Gift from the Sea, Ode Magazine, an array of non-fiction, and my journal.
Worst job: When I chased people through parking lots armed with bottles of perfume.
Fascinations: Insects, maps, and people’s stories of survival.
Fictional character she identifies with: Marcie (from Peanuts). Because she can’t throw a football to save her life, she’s frank with her feelings, and she wears glasses.
Favorite Invention: Leg warmers
Inspiration: Solitude, change, and people.
Loves of her life: Her husband and their cranky 19-year old cat “Sarah”.
Random facts: Once swam in the Amazon with piranha while I had a nose bleed (I’ve gotten them all my life); can recite all the prepositions in alphabetical order; and am obsessed with writing things in threes.
