Caroline Okun
Designer in Chapel Hill, North Carolina
My childhood was spent in New York, where
at 13 years old I would jump on a train like a
hobo and spend the day in art museums and
eating hot dogs in Central Park.
After college I developed an appreciation for
simple bold patterns and Ikea furniture when I
lived in Sweden for several years. I learned Swedish,
but failed to get a visa and was shipped back to the US.
During the day I work formally as a graphic
designer and informally as a dog trainer.
In my spare time I am an avid chef, an
amateur boxer, and a volunteer
at my local animal shelter.
