Barbara Breuner, Graphic Designer

How I pay the bills:

Mostly web and sometimes print designer, I just LOVE designing for the web, it's creative, challenging, fast and ever-changing - never a dull moment!

When I'm not at my desk:

I'm a keen traveler to remote and interesting places especially on a bike. Downhill and cross-country skiing fill my winters. When at home with my family, I enjoy relaxing with a glass of red wine, good food and watching DVDs (don't have cable or I would watch the Food Network 24/7).

I bet you didn't know:

I can't stand shopping for clothes... the only stores I really would ever need are Lululemon and The North Face.

I'm inspired by:

Award-winning, clever and innovative designs. I'm a fanatic about clean, simple and fresh designs that flow. Clearly capturing a client's individuality and personality is also key.

Guilty pleasures:

Reading a good book in the middle of the day when I should be cleaning.

What gets me out of bed in the morning:

Besides a foot of fresh powder and sunshine - strong coffee.
