As a lot of you know Zara Home and myself had an issue with some pillows they produced offered last year for their children's line. After it was made aware to them they clarified that they were not in-house designs, but items created and manufactured by an external supplier and they worked with me very diligently to work out an agreement to remedy the situation. The people I spoke with were very attentive and positive throughout the whole process. From their team here in the United States to the headquarters in Europe all the people that I have been in contact with were very kind and professional and went out of their way to correct the situation to my satisfaction.

I had the pleasure of working with Tiffany & CO this holiday season.

I worked with Tiffany & CO on in store games for children for this holiday season. The first game you decorate a gingerbread house with gems and characters. Plus you can change it from day to night. The second is a game where Rupert and my little red bandit squirrel catch falling gems. I painted every single thing in the game we worked on it for three months. Thanks to Simona for being so great!!
