A site called three layer cake has an interview with Park Slope’s own Grace Bonney of Design Sponge.

The multiple daily posts on design*sponge,
as effervescent and sunny as they may be, pale in comparison to the
real live woman who writes them.  Grace Bonney, a Virginia-native
living in Brooklyn, is the voice behind the design blog which attracts
over 12,000 readers a day.  Now that she’s on her own, she has the

and for the past two and a half years worked full time at a record
label and as an assistant at a Brooklyn PR firm that handled large
design accounts like Vitra. Working so closely with the design
