About Me
- Laini Taylor
- I'm a writer & artist. I live in Portland, Oregon with my husband Jim (also an artist) and our small daughter, Clementine Pie. My novels are Dreamdark: Blackbringer, Dreamdark: Silksinger, and Lips Touch, which was a finalist for the 2009 National Book Award. My next novel, Daughter of Smoke and Bone (Little, Brown) will be out September 27, 2011. I believe our dreams are REAL THINGS, not wisps and air, and it is our job in this life to make them come true, because no one else will do it for us, and because this is our one and only "wild & precious life"!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 201 of 201We always struggled with how to show the “human side” of our brand. Digital Marketing in Faridabad helped us introduce behind-the-scenes clips, before-after transformations, feedback snapshots, and team highlights. These pieces made our audience feel connected, and Designyze proved that familiarity drives purchase decisions in subtle but powerful ways.
