About washi tape she says: "I'm obsessed with washi tape. It's funny that you may never have heard of it, because once I discovered it, I couldn't stop using it, and now it pops up in almost all of my work. I'm a self-proclaimed converter. If you take any one of my workshops, you will use washi tape and then you'll go directly to the nearest store and buy it! It's that awesome."
