Trude­sign:LBOI? but you aren’t a boy…are you? who are you anyways?

Sneh Roy:I am Sneh and LBOI is short for Lit­tle Box Of Ideas.
SR:Well I am a lit­tle box of ideas, so tech­ni­cally I am LBOI

Tru:Like do you pre­fer a genre or type of orga­ni­za­tion to work with?

SR:mov­ing is not very fun, is it? I am done with my share of pack­ing boxes
SR:Actu­ally any kind, I pre­fer any kind, the more vari­ety the bet­ter. I do have a soft soft for brand­ing projects that require a touch of “whimsy“
SR:It could be a big com­pany or an indi­vid­ual, as long as they have that free adven­tur­ous spirit, it makes it more fun for me

Love me some cook­ing. Did you know the MOST pop­u­lar blogs on the inter­net are cook­ing blogs? Guess I’m in the wrong field. Check out Sneh’s Twit­ter, and her web sites. I’ll be sure to do a fea­ture of her book when she comes out with it!

Come by tomor­row when I catch up with Erik Straub, the other half of sum(design)!
