There’s no doubt that Noémie McGovern is going to do big things. The full-time graphic designer, and face behind the unique blog As Ink Remains, met with me in a crowded coffee shop on a cold Sunday to talk about how the content she posts helps her stay inspired and creative. Over tea we discussed décor, fashion, cats, recipes, her engagement, her future goals and the cultural revolution happening in the city that she now calls home.

Erin Jones: How did As Ink Remains come to fruition?
Noémie McGovern: I was in China for a year, came back and realized that I wanted to do something to stay creative. I wanted to cover new restaurants that I really liked, cover style the way that I saw it, and to try and stay inspired as well: to push myself to post something every day to stay in tune with what was going on in Toronto.

EJ: You cover fashion, décor, cats, and food. How would you categorize your blog?
NM: That’s actually the hardest thing for me to do.
