1. Ashley, what’s the basic idea behind your website? My website offers free designs for teenagers which they can use for their myspace.com pages.

2. When do you first become interested in this kind of thing? When I was nine years old I started working with websites.

3. And how did the website become a business? I started making advertising which brings me and the business a lot of money.

4. What about school? I decided to continue studying from home and left my high school when I turned 16

5. Do you run your business on your own? No, my mother and some of my friends decided to work for me.

6. Are there any problems with being the boss? Well, sometimes it’s hard to be the boss and the friend or the daughter.

7. What do you think is the reason for your success? I think my business is so successful because of the designs which are made for teenagers by teenagers. So I guess that teenagers think “She is in my age, so she must know what I want!”

8. Are there any disadvantages to the job? Sometimes I miss the normal teenagers live, which all this normal high school problems and stuff like that.

9. And what about the future? I think I will go to the design school in New York. But I’m not really sure about my future!
