Tell us how and when you first started using Pinterest.
"Natasha Foote, a designer I work with, invited me to join in late 2010, and soon the rest of our creative team was on Pinterest. We initially used it to share visual ideas and create specific visual narratives around certain themes. From the moment I started, it felt like a natural way to catalog and curate the things that intrigued me visually."
