A great day for interviews today. Firstly Bronwyn and I went to meet Anna Raff an illustrator from New York who has over 15 years experience at Harper Collins Publishers and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She has also completed a Graduate degree at the School of Visual Art New York. She was so willing to sit and talk to us for ages in a beautiful little garden in Greenwich Village. She gave honest and appropriate answers expressing how working and studying in the UK at one point made her feel empowered as a human being which is just as valuable as formal education. Also how it's important to be well rounded and that maybe you cannot put a price on education. The best answer was that she learnt from her mother and father that "you can go pretty far by not being a jerk" that made us both smile as its simple and the truth so there you go. Thank you very much Anna.
