等待本身，就带着惊喜。本来以为syl把我们约定的采访给忘了，但突如其来，她说，她还记得。
syl来自德国，现在生活在瑞士，她形容自己是一位贪吃的平面设计师，她总是感到肌饿，要一边设计一边吃。除了设计，她不是在做吃的，就是在吃。最欣赏的是她的sketchbooks。她的手稿调皮活泼，还即兴地贴着卡通和有趣的招贴，让我乐此不疲地翻了整个下午。

1.Tell me a bit about yourself.
Hello, my name is syl. I was born & raised in Bavaria (Germany). I studied in Germany & USA. Now I’m a graphic designer, illustrator & character designer, living and working in Switzerland.
I collect wallpapers and I’m always hungry. Actually, I have to get something to eat before I continue this interview. one moment please.

2.What keeps you inspired?
Daily life. traveling. eating.

3.I love your sketchbooks, would you describe your working procedure?
I am drawing in order to think, not the other way around as many people do.
I usually draw into one of my sketchbooks, then I scan the drawing and refine it on the computer if needed. either I color the drawing by hand or on the computer. sometimes i have to convert my drawings from pixels to vectors, in order to be able to make, e.g. flex prints for t-shirts.

4.Tell me about your creative work recently.
I was asked to design a small t-shirt collection for a Swiss fashion chain, which was something I’d always wanted to do. I was quite free to chose the motifs & colors, so it was really fun.

5.Describe your own character.
hmmm… difficult question! I’d said I’m quite a quiet person. although…I get angry sometimes, e.g. at my pencil when I don’t manage to draw something the way I want.

6.Which one of characters is your favourite in your cartoons?
Oh, don’t ask me that! if I pick one of my characters as a favourite now, the others will hate me for ever…(but I like kamikatze a lot, she’s so fun & crazy)

7.What would you doing if you weren’t designing?
Cooking (& eating!)

8.What can’t you living without? Why?
Chocolate! I’m seriously addicted.

9.What you hate most?
Besides wet towels I really hate hunger, injustice and violence.

10.Dream to be?
A mom!
