I don’t know how many of you have design envy – I do. I have it when I see cool dressed people in cool arcades. Argh – don’t you hate them? And I also have it when I go here and here and here.

So for a long time I’ve had healthy design envy (very healthy, good vibes all the way) – for The Design Files. Lucy Feagins has always been “wow”. She blogs everyday and recently, a fair friend told me she has 10,000 hits a day. You just got green didn’t you?

Anyhoo. Last week, I got invited to her talk – thanks Joyce, for thinking of me – and I, a mildly green Kish went to listen to Lucy talk about her blog – at Coco Republic – (we were sipping on Cloudy Bay’s Pelorus Sparkling and popping Arancini balls). And Lucy was, wait for it………………….
………….lovely!!
She really was.

She took us through the early days of her blog and her break through post which was picked up by Design*Sponge and the jobs that have come about since then. Clearly humble and frank – it was really refreshing to hear her.

Her top websites for now – which she felt as quirky + ones to watch out for – are Modernist Australia, Behind Ballet, Hello Sandwich, Junior and Home Love. She also mentioned – the must haves, Core 77, MoCo Loco, DeZeen and designboom. So my point is, usually – there is no point in being green, because generally when you meet the person who is making you green, they are lovely and all the greenly-ness is gone!
Thanks Lucy for the lovely talk. xK
