And Huniford, who goes by Ford, has gained a
Sutton Stracke is serious about design. She has two closets (and a boutique) filled with pieces from world-renowned designers, and she tapped an interior-design pro to spruce up her daughter Porter’s dorm room. And as we now know, Sutton’s fall decor is a pretty serious affair, too.

I’ve had the good fortune of interviewing a lot of cool people (so. many.) here at Clever, and I’ve seen my fair share of exciting collaborations. But when I got the email asking if I wanted to have a one-on-one Zoom call with the inimitable Dr. Jane Goodall, you could say I was thrilled—and a little surprised.
