Our Chief Panda Officer, always near the genesis of an inspired idea (or cocktail), often recalls Marcel Proust’s wit for answering Victorian parlor game questions. Pixel has traveled far from the salons of Paris, but her interest remains piqued in which questions truly reflect a person’s character. Packing just the right amount of punch, NJI created The Pixel Questionnaire to give a glimpse into the inner workings of some of our most intriguing minds.
Graphic Designer Sarah Ficarro invited us to a picnic set amidst the lush grass and beautiful vistas of her private elephant sanctuary to share a delicious bucket of spicy fried chicken. Sticky fingers aside, we endeavored to find out more about this delight Design Fairy and how she takes flight.
