About | Faith Monson

(Text) You could say that Faith has always been crazy about two things - design and making things happen. Even as a child, while recuperating from surgery, she passed the time by transforming a plain tissue box into a work of art with glue and magazine clippings. By the time she was feeling well, Faith had persuaded her parents to let her redesign her room. Encouraged by this success, she began seeing design opportunities everywhere, from bare walls to boring white tennis shoes.
