I have had the pleasure to design images for the launch of author and poet, Michelle Merlindt. When I sat down with her, I was treated to the story of her travels from Dubai to England and the United States. And as we talked about her poems, I couldn't help but be carried away to the wonderful places and events she is drawn to. In her poetry she builds worlds of adventure - Dubai before tourism, Rolls Royce before the ornament and worlds of love and pearls within a rich cultural tapestry.

Colour and design ideas flowed between us in phone conversations and emails. I drew cars and boats in rich colours until we go the right car and the right boat that she used. I advised on design aspects of the images. I built the webpage and re-designed it trying to match the rich style of her writing.

Together we succeeded in our endeavor!
