Hermine has been working as an illustrator/designer for books, package design, textile design, gifts, and stationery, for over 20 years. She is currently the co-founder for the #3 rated "girls only" website worldwide, www.missoandfriends.com which she developed with her daughter Juliette, when she was 10. A place to help young girls build self-esteem and have fun at the same time, 100% safe. She has illustrated the 6 Miss O & Friends books currently out on the market. Hermine is working on a new collection of journals, (this is the first), that appeal to the tween girl, since she has immersed herself into that genre. She emails daily with tween girls to fully understand what they like. Hermine is very excited about designing journals and eventually books on Blurb. She is married to Paul Brindak, has two daughters, Juliette and Olivia, along with 2 Maltese dogs, living in Connecticut.
