1. Although I never went to Pittsburgh until I was an adult I have been a die-hard devoted fan of the the Pittsburgh Penguins since I was 9.
2. I abhor celery.
3. I’m addicted to going to school.  Seriously.  I love to learn. Yes, I am a nerd.
4. I’m usually good at painting my own fingernails.  I’m not bad at doing other’s either.
5. I hate the name Jennifer so I embraced my nickname.  I began insisting people spell it with an ie in middle school.   The thought of being buried with Jennifer on my tombstone gives me nightmares.  I’m considering legally changing it.
6. I drive a yellow beetle and I am determined that never have another colored car for the rest of my life.
7. My birthday is two days after Dr. Seuss.  Because we are birthday week buddies I feel a deep connection to his work.  His writing is deep, yet simplistic.  His illustrations are color and zany, but with dark simple lines.  That is very similar to my personal interior design philosophy.

1. i sleep really strange hours. in any situation, i’m always the last person left awake.
2. though i love fashion, i’m also a huge nerd. i’m a computer geek, i play video games, read comic books and sci-fi/fantasy is my favorite book genre. i’m obscenely good at mario kart wii — not in a conceited way but more in an i-spent-way-too-many-hours-playing kind of way.
3. i randomly make up songs around the house. they are generally about my cats and/or shoes. some of my greatest hits include: upside down little kitty, strappy strappy black shoes, and roland is a kitty.
4. i would rather make something than buy it any day.  i tend to only buy things i can’t possibly make.
5. when i was growing up in southern california, my parents and i moved around a lot. i attended 11 different schools from kindergarten to 12th grade. most people feel sorry for me, but i actually loved it! my favorite part was all the art classes i got to take with a variety of different teachers.
6. last summer, i moved from new york to milan, italy.  as a result, i’m officially trilingual, which is really exciting to me.
7. i had my first photography exhibit when i was 8 years old.

1. I’ve always had a thing for buttons!! ( : : )
2. I played the cello for about 15 years and almost went into a career with it
3. I’m the only person in my family without the initials BAR
4. I’ve never ever been a sports person, but I work at a sports company (Reebok)
5. I love horchata!!!!
6. I hope to live in another country for a while within the next 10 years
7. I love color but I usually just wear neutrals…
