Designer Interview: Christina Minasian of Pencey
Friday, April 10th, 2009Being able to speak and work directly with our shopchantal.com designers is one very fortunate bonus we have as a personally owned and operated company. And, we love that our blog gives us the chance to share our experiences with you.
Ever wonder what inspires designers or maybe what advice they were given that helped them get to where they are? We do too! So, we decided to ask. We know our designers are busy so we kept our questions short and, in turn, their answers are short. We took the liberty of adding some quick links and fun images related to their answers. After all, we are very visual here at shopchantal.com.
We will have more Designer Interviews leading up to Fall and think you will love what the designers have to say. Let us know if there is someone special you would like us to interview and we’ll see what we can do.
