We hope all of you enjoyed reading about some of the highlights from our first Celebrity Designer shoot almost as we did working with Elaine. Elaine was a blast to work with as her excitement and energy level matches her talent.
In addition to helping decorate the fabulous home office you see below and designing stunning handbags, Elaine was kind enough to stop by after the shoot to do a quick interview with us. Enjoy!
