A Short But Sweet Bio of Eve Brown-Waite

Eve Brown-Waite is a recent transplant not only to Western Massachusetts, but to the western hemisphere! Having spent much of the last 12 years doing development work in the Third World, she can now say “Please pass the fried termites." and  “I urgently need a toilet.” in half a dozen languages. Eve has lived in Ecuador, Uganda, Uzbekistan, Israel and Albania. ("What are countries that begin with a vowel and end in civil war?") Although she’s been back in the U.S. for more than two years now, she still feels the need to ration toilet paper and often goes to Stop & Shop just to browse. 

Eve has a Master’s degree in Public Health and has worked as a health teacher and AIDS educator in the U.S. and overseas. Her nickname in Uganda was “Ayikoru” which loosely translated means “strange little white woman who puts condoms on bananas.”  Eve became a closet writer while living overseas. She’s out of the closet now and at work on a book about her overseas adventures. Eve lives in Deerfield with her husband and their two above-average children, two well-traveled cats and one million, three hundred -twenty-three thousand, six hundred and seventy-two ladybugs (at last count).

A Short But Sweet History of Starstruck Design

Owners Lynn Nichols and Don Kruger left the New York commuting scene in 1999 and moved to an isolated hilltop with a fantastic valley view in Gill, MA. 

Using their combined skills of marketing, publishing, graphic design, computer programming, network design, website creation, music, humor and culinary prowess they started a business where they could do anything they darn well wanted to do. (As long as it's okay with their supervisor, Peppy, the cat.)

Starstruck has built websites and produced brochures and periodicals for many local businesses and organizations including: The Franklin County CDC, Songline Bird Farm, Infinity Photography, Wicked Sticks, Lunt Silversmiths and The Cooperative Development Institute. Clients have made their way up the treacherous driveway on foot, by 4-wheel, on snowshoes, motorcycle (Harley) and horseback.

Lynn and Don quickly got into all of the things that the Pioneer Valley has to offer like: great views, fine dining, concerts, fairs, corn, the fall, the snow, festivals, diners, maple syrup, friends and community. In their spare time they sing with the Pioneer Valley Symphony Chorus. Both love the kitchen and Don makes the best sweet potato chips this side of anywhere. (Ask Eve or Peppy.)
