Laurie is an incredibly accomplished creative person. She has work in every major publication, author of several books, important design awards... I could go on. Nowadays she is focused on her book and workshop, How to Make Mistakes on Purpose Dr. Lisa is upfront about her counter-transference. She identities with Laurie as far as age and career in commercial art, except Laurie soared where Dr. Lisa feels she flailed partly because of her self-esteem. Well, also, Laurie IS exceptionally talented. Laurie is unusual as a creative person in that she is so grounded and forward moving with her abilities. Laurie gives us insight as to how she got that way — her ability to thrive through her childhood with strong survival skills.
