Wel­come to the sec­ond install­ment of my hor­ri­bly named inter­view series, The 5 Minute InTRU­view; the inter­view series where I take peo­ple I don’t really know much about who are active in the design com­mu­nity and try to get to know them in 5 min­utes! Today I inter­view Kelly Mur­phy of saucewear.com. Lets get to it!

Trude­sign: Who is your daddy and what does he do? (And by daddy I mean You)

Kelly Mur­phy: My name is Kelly Mur­phy, I own saucewear which is a tshirt design busi­ness, I live in Boston and I also work full time at a telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions giant

Tru: Where did you get the idea for saucewear?

KM: Hmmmm.…it was a name that I came up with by talk­ing to a friend of mine who was orig­i­nally a part­ner in the busi­ness. She is no longer part of the busi­ness, but that’s a whole dif­fer­ent story, it came about using the word “saucy” and adding a bit of cloth­ing to it. saucewear, bang.

Tru: BOOM! Do you fear the Fens at night? (if you don’t know what they are just say Yes and move on, trust me)

KM: yes, very much so

KM: yes, to be a travel agent. That sucked.

Tru: So telecomm giant, as a designer?

KM: nope, not even. cus­tomer ser­vice, it pays the bills, been there 13 years

Tru: Boston is pretty young and ecclec­tic, get big inspi­ra­tion form the city for saucewear? 1 minute!

KM: I do tend to see whats hot around the city and try to incor­po­rate it into my designs, but mostly when I do cus­tom work for clients

Tru: If you could travel any­where right now where would it be?

KM: hmm­mmm.…… back to Aus­tralia for sure

Tru: Who would win in a fight, Pope John Paul or Pope Bene­dict the 16^th?
