Creatives Near You

Jeremy and I were recently interviewed by my new friend, Meg Lopp, of Green Couch Design for a feature called Creatives Near You. She asked a lot of really great questions about how we juggle our personal and professional lives, how we keep creativity fresh and what a typical date night is like.

Here's an excerpt:
Q.) Everyone has a different approcah toward balancing business and life. For J&K how do the two coexist?

A) KATHLEEN: I believe that business and life should go hand-in-hand. I’m passionate about what I do – who I am in my professional life is the same as my personal life and nine times out of 10 my clients become great friends. Meanwhile, Jeremy is more of a “working for the weekend” kind of guy. He’s good at what he does and is a hard worker 40 hours a week but when he’s home he’s not thinking about work – and he likes it that way.

A) JEREMY: I don’t work THAT hard. Ha. Though, I do fantasize about being passionate about my work. It’s just not practical for me. I’m better off keeping work and play separate.

you guys are adorable :)

What a great interview! I especially loved Jeremy's answer to Q1, about leaving his comfort zone every once in a while to enjoy life. It shook me. I reread it five times in attempts to burn it into my brain. You two are the cutest.

Holy shmoly. The excerpt is exactly how Scott and I would answer. My blue collar man, working for the weekend, whereas I'm life + work = passion!

Great interview!

Great interview, Kathleen! Though an engineer myself, my husband and I can totally relate to the dreamer vs pragmatist.

I loved reading this interview! : ) You can really see the love and support you both have for each other... so wonderful!
