An Interview With Surface Designer Khristian A. Howell

I’ve been a big fan of Khristian’s lovely surface designs and patterns ever since we connected a while ago via Twitter and today I’m really excited to share an interview I recorded with her last week.

In the interview we discuss how she got started, her creation process, how trade shows have been crucial to her success and the most important things to consider when starting out in the business.

You can see some of Khristian’s designs below but be sure to head over to her website to see more lovely work. Check out Khristian’s blog too, always full of visual and business inspiration. And, as you’ll hear in the interview, you can always find Khristian on Twitter

Thanks to Khristian for taking time out of her schedule to participate in the interview.

Without further ado, here’s the interview - enjoy!
