Q&A with designer Jennifer Zeyl

PhotoSister: When you were young, did you imagine you would be on this particular journey in life? Why or why not?
Jennifer Zeyl: Yes.  I’ve never imagined doing anything else.  Creating visual environment for narrative; yes, that is all.

PS: The Beatles or Elvis?
JZ: Beatles.

PS: What is the one thing you splurge on for yourself?
JZ: Pedicures.

PS: What is your favorite restaurant pick in Seattle and the best dish on the menu?
JZ: Rancho Bravo – Chicken Burrito.

PS: What kind of people do you surround yourself with?
JZ: Only the very best sorts of people; with humor, integrity and soul.  Life’s too short to have crappy friends.
