About me

Gender Female
Industry Fashion
Occupation designer and sewer
Location Washington, DC
Introduction I run Holland Cox, and have a typical (for DC) day job that is not nearly as cool as designing and sewing handbags.
Interests I like movies, french fries, shoes, reading, sewing, fabric shopping, crime dramas, opera, blank books, traveling, permanent markers, Italian food, warm weather, red wine, dancing, maps, visiting friends and family, pretty boxes, history, and sitting down with a sketchbook and some sharp pencils.
Favorite Movies Goodfellas, The Two Towers, Lucky Number Slevin, The Departed, Excalibur, Unbreakable
Favorite Music Anything singable or danceable or reminds me of something that makes me smile. XTC, '70s disco/funk never get old.
Favorite Books Bluebeard, A Storm of Swords, Goblet of Fire, The Horse and His Boy

For your birthday, your aunt gave you a maple syrup dispenser shaped like a rooster. Please write her a thank-you note:

Dear Auntie: What a thoughtful gift! You know how much I love breakfast, and now I can think about it all day long while gazing at my rooster dispenser (surely useful long after the syrup is gone!) You're the best!
