Alisa's Blind Q & A (Given by Heather Lipner)
Tell us about your dream office vibe.
"My dream office is cozy and comfortable without being slouchy or sloppy. I want it to be a place where I can retreat to and feel inspired by."

Who are your top five favorite designers or artists?
"I love Ralph Lauren, Lillian August, ABC Carpet and Home, and Calypso Home. I wish J.Crew had a furniture store! In terms of art, I prefer realism and love watercolor and acrylic. I like cityscapes and landscapes as long as they're realistic. I like to know what I'm looking at!"

What office items have you been looking for and can't find, or are on your wish list?
"I've been searching for bulletin boards that don't scream Container Store!"

Name your top three style icons whom you align with most.
"Kate Moss, Jackie Kennedy, and Kate Middelton. I'd like to think of my style as refined and chic with an edgy flair. I love Milly dresses, but I also appreciate a pair of boyfriend jeans paired with a T-shirt and blazer."

Do you prefer to write notes on paper or on the computer?
"Paper! I'm very visual. I have a chalkboard in my kitchen that I leave notes on all the time. I love the way it looks and I like physically writing things down."
