Since 2004, I’ve interviewed a high-powered New York executive, a top dog trainer and animal behaviorist, an accomplished drafter and interior designer, doll artists, several dog owners, and several owners of hobby shops that range from exotic boutiques to mom-and-pop shops run out of the family-home basement.  I have the experience and skill to conduct a professional, friendly interview and craft an engaging profile or biography.

Doll Reader is a high-end hobbyist publication that appears 9 times a year, with a circulation of over 50,000.  As a columnist for Doll Reader Magazine for a year, I interviewed doll artists for the “Artful

Creations” column, as well as several shop owners all across the United States for the ” Shop Talk” column.  Most interviews were conducted on the phone, though I interviewed the owner of a local shop, Jan Dolls, as well as took photographs for the column.

In, 2004, I interviewed Mr. David Niggli, CEO of FAO Schwarz, just before the grand re-opening of their flagship New York and Las Vegas stores, for a special “Shop Talk” column.
