CRAFT Authors
Natalie Zee Drieu Editor-in-Chief |
Natalie Zee Drieu leads editorial coverage for CRAFT, one of the largest websites covering the modern craft movement. In 2008, Folio named her one of the Top 40 Magazine Industry Influencers and Innovators. She has brought her crafting know-how to TV shows such as The View from the Bay, Bay Area Backroads, and CBS News' The Early Show, and has spoken at conventions like SXSWi and CHA (Craft & Hobby Association) about the new crafts movement and the convergence of crafts and technology. She's a designer and best-selling author of books on web design and broadband technology, and she's the founder of Coquette (coquette.blogs.com), a blog on fashion and technology that's rated one of the top 50 fashion blogs in the world. When she's not at the computer, you can usually find her knitting or crocheting with her daughter, Chloe, and her Pomeranian, Lulu, nearby. |

Arwen O'Reilly Griffith Staff Editor |

She owns more craft books than she'll ever be able to use, hoards fabric, loves learning about heirloom techniques, and uses a vintage Singer sewing machine because she can fix it herself. |
