Among all the hubbub for the new book, I would be remiss if I didn't thank my friend, Katherine, for her excellent design touches on the cover — it came out beautifully.

Katherine and I used to work together at Mattel. And in my 8 years there, I got the chance to work with some of the most amazingly talented creatives I could imagine...but I don't think I ever met a designer as naturally gifted as Katherine. She never ceases to amaze me with her talent.

Like myself, she's out of Mattel now, having moved to Texas to start a design studio and a clothing company.

If you get a chance, check them out: Katherine's not only super talented, she's super cool as well.
