when it comes to cool design girls, meg mateo ilasco is at the very tippity top of my list. aside from admiring all of the incredible books she’s published (most notably craft, inc. which is a must-buy for any biz lady) meg happens to be one of the most awesome girls around. she’s smart, she’s talented and most importantly- she keeps it real. she’ll be talking about her thoughts on running your own business, sharing some of her favorite stories from her experience and she’ll be sharing some great peeks into the desk-life of some of our favorite artists and designers. she has two posts coming today (one up now and one at 10am) so click here to check them out. welcome, meg!
