Jo Layne SkillmanGraphic / Web Designer
What I do:
Design and illustration. I also put together websites, but I don’t make them function.
Where I am originally from:
Mt. Vernon, Texas.
What are my hobbies:
Reading, wakeboarding, gymnastics, cheerleading, playing the French horn, cooking, four-wheeling, traveling, and going to garage sales
What are your quirks and idiosyncrasies:
I whistle through my teeth, I sing constantly under my breath, I am never upset, and I can walk on stilts. I am also flexible enough for the Cirque du Soleil, but I can’t figure out how to join. I think they recruit.
What is your favorite flavor of ice cream:
Cookies Cookies Cookies. It was discontinued after less than a year, tragically.
What would you do if you won the lottery:
Tip exorbitantly.
What is your perfect day:
I believe that “perfect days” are the ones that produce Stories, and so they can’t be planned in advance. I’ve found that Stories are most likely to come about, however, when a day that starts with very little purpose develops in the presence of interesting people.
What is your most effective way of wasting time at work:
This is only my third day; I need much more time to discover my potential for uselessness.
If you were to be on America's Most Wanted, what would it be for:
A world record collection of speeding tickets. I used to collect warnings until I got too old for anyone to believe I didn’t know any better.
