My Naturally Sweet Interview with French Illustrator Chloe Fleury!

I love stop motion from chloe fleury on Vimeo.

Her designs are as addictive as Pinkberry, her personality is as bubbly as Bubble Tape and her life story so far is well-traveled and colorful. This girl is pure sweetness. Born in France, Chloe Fleury is a graphic designer and illustrator making her beauty mark in San Fransisco.

And, it's deliciously adorable.

It's never been a secret that I am inspired by all-things design: fashion, typography, photography, you name it, I love it and often find myself engrossed in design books and magazine for hours on end.
However, it is rare for me to find a designer that embodies everything that I adore and love about culture, life and philosophy. This is why Chloe is dear to my heart. She is the girl every girl wants to be best friends with and the girl everyone wants to collaborate with.

It's no question that I love her work but I also love the fact that she lives in the USA far, far away from all of her friends and family, just
like me (except the whole different country thing). I had to use this
connection we have in common as a way for me to pick her brain and get
to know my future BFF a little bit better.

Enjoy my interview with Chloe Fleury!

SP: I know you are a graphic artist and Illustrator however I love that you get your hands dirty in so many different outlets. What creative
disciplines are you finding yourself immersed in lately?

I've always been attracted to so many creative disciplines, I wish days were longer because I don't have enough time! I want to work more on
typography, fashion design and windows displays. Lately I find myself
working for paper/construction
projects and photography; it's quickly become a new passion of mine! I
just got a nice camera and hope to make a cool photo project about San
Francisco soon. Mostly what i like in all those disciplines is creating
my own little colorful worlds and atmospheres...and play with them.

SP: You're artwork always puts me in a happy mood! It's always so fresh, feminine and positive. How has traveling the world inspired your work?

I think what inspires me the most are the colors of different cities! They affect my mood a lot and my work. The architecture and the colors
of San Francisco are so inspiring, this is such an artfully inspiring
place to live.

SP: As you know, I am in a long distance relationship with my family, boyfriend and bosses. How do you keep in touch with your family/friends
in France?

I keep in touch with my family and friends via Skype, Facebook, and lots of emails. I am very proud of my grandmother because when i left France for San Francisco, I gave her my old iMac so she could
receive my emails. She didn't even know how to use a mouse at first and
now she's such a "geek"! She can send emails, attach photos and she is
active on Facebook! She even makes comments on my Wall and Photo
Albums. It's very fun to see.

SP: What's the most creative thing you've done to stay in contact with someone out of state?
