Poppy Evans is a freelance graphic designer and writer who has been working from her Park Hills, Kentucky home since 1991. She has authored eight titles and is a frequent contributor to many design magazines and teaches at the Art Academy of Cincinnati.
These two books help prioritize the steps involved in setting up a successful home office, a task that can be daunting. Freelance graphic designer Evans focuses on selecting the appropriate equipment and furniture for her line of work, and throughout she includes visits to the studios of other successful designers. But she also covers every other aspect of establishing a home business, including financing, zoning, taxes, and the like, making her book useful for anyone who wants to set up a home business. Sweet gives an overall look at setting up a home office with considerations for personal and professional needs. However, Lorrie Mack's Calm Working Spaces (LJ 1/01) gives more practical, solid advice then found here. Evans's book is essential for any graphic design collection and, given the comprehensive information on working at home, recommended for public libraries. Purchase Home.Work where there is a continued interest in creating home offices.
