Original design by Kim Driggs
Kim has gone from Japanese major, to call center drone, to translator/editor, to stay at home mom... now, design! When not completely overwhelmed by her urge to do it all, she chases her three girls, spins, and reads comic books. She also really likes to talk... you can find more of her fibery rambling at her blog at

Spandau Ballet got their name from something a friend saw written on a bathroom wall at a nightclub in Berlin. They went on to become one of the top 80's bands in the UK.
