"Don't Bug Me. I'm A Designer!"

Yes, that's Todd. And yes, he's pictured here assembling curtains for our flat. A skill that had not come out in all our years of knowing each other. Turns out that it is customary to move into a Swiss apartment without any window treatments or lighting fixtures. So when we moved into our place which has huge windows, we had quite a job in front of us. It turned out to be an even bigger issue since our windows were not quite standard curtain sizes. But Todd's creativity, we found, was not limited to advertising. He solved the problem of having curtains that were too long by creating a valance (a word that he did not know before he figured this out) at the top of the curtain. A job well done! When asked how he felt about his craftsmanship, Todd replied (with beer in hand), "Slightly emasculated."
