Kristen Ley of Thimblepress, a designer, artist, and entrepreneur, gave a public lecture last night in the Roundhouse, followed by Product Development Workshop this morning for MFA students. Both were great! Kristen is full of energy, creativity, and hussle and is very open about sharing advice and resources gained through her own experiences developing Thimblepress.
