KATE MOROSS IS OUR DREAM GIRL.NATURALLY, WE WANTED TO KNOW MORE.BY: JENA CORAY

“i am incredibly clumsy...”

She has seen her work plastered on billboards dot-ting the UK countryside and city streets. She has been hired by Nike, Sony, Diesel, Pepsi and other mind-bogglingly huge names. She designed a line of clothing and a store window for Topshop, a major British retailer located on one of London's busiest streets. She's created more band posters, logos and magazine covers than most people can dream up in a lifetime, and sells an original line of products in her online store. She even runs her own vinyl-only record label, Isomorph Records, where she hunts down new musical talent and designs the record sleeves and tees to match.

As snarky as she is brilliant, Kate Moross is cer-tainly a creative force to be reckoned with. A che-rubic faced powerhouse of graphic design and illus-tration with a client list so long, it's sure to leave you feeling a bit nauseous with envy. And to make matters worse, she's only 22 years old.

Kate's stunning success at such a young age is com-pletely self-imposed, brought on by a heaping dose of hard-work, determination and self-confidence. (It seems your parents advice was right all along, hmm?) It helps too that she has carried herself with remarkable maturity, professionalism and kind-ness along the way, from her 15-year-old roots of drawing up band flyers for friends, until now, as a full-time freelance designer working from her own fab London studio.

In an effort to better get to know the girl behind the design genius, I doled out some questions Myspace-survey style to find out more...

STOP!
