I am pretty sure that was a run-on sentence but it is tooooo hard to talk about the C word and design life, all in one sentence. Just sayin'.

I am the publisher of an award-winning green urban lifestyle and design blog, Urban Gardens: Unlimited Thinking for Limited Spaces. Urban Gardens is about the fusion of interior and exterior design and all of its complimentary design influences--architecture, industrial and product design, landscape architecture and garden design, and even fashion when it applies to the "gestalt." My audience is best described as design devotees--those folks interested in great design.  I would choose Paris. I have covered Maison et Objet in Paris in the past for Urban Gardens, but every time I visit the show it is new and different. Though I would be happy in Milan (never been to Salone del Mobile) and London is always full of great finds... Why I Should Be Selected: 1) I know Paris well, can share some cool off the beaten track spots I know with the others, and speak fluent French which doesn't hurt. 2) People will hear: Urban Gardens has a strong devoted monthly readership of around 30K, around 2K dedicated email and RSS subscribers, and more that 16K combined Twitter and Facebook followers. 3) Perspective: My 30 years of design experience informs everything I see and write about, and the blog has given me a unique perspective  4) I'm fun to hang out with 5) I'm a design spotter and love to share Here's where you'll find me: Urban Gardens http://www.urbangardensweb.com Twitter: @urbangardens:disqus   Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/urbangardens LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/robinhortondesign YouTube: Shippan Design Show House: http://vimeo.com/16669970 http://vimeo.com/15793538 P Allen Smith Garden2Blog Tips: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uwdo2fb55K0 Being associated with Modenus for anything would be an honor, but joining a group of creative, curious, and design-savvy individuals on a BlogTour to scour design fairs and design rich cities uncovering and reporting back on fabulous finds…that’s really sharing the love.
