Melissa and I had an initial conversation for Eager To Know, but after its completion, we decided to connect again - to clarify and expand some of the topics discussed. I am glad we decided on a second meeting because that is what I ended using for this podcast.

I discovered PINUPS around 2009 when I was in a fairly major period of personal, creative growth. I was impressed by the magazine's simplicity, beauty, and I just thought it was really clever. I knew it was created by a single individual and that fact inspired me to wonder: “what I can create?” Seeing PINUPS activated my creative brain.
