03/10/11--09:58: Rediscovering Flow (chan 1027096)

A few months ago I wrote a post about the major changes I was making to my life – ignited by a growing dissatisfaction with my business and bleeding into the rest of my reality. I wrote about rediscovering flow and realizing how hard it was to get into the flow with all the distractions,... Read the Rest

It’s been a couple of weeks since we returned from our two-week Spain trip. The first week was spent at an artist retreat in the deserts and forests of Almeria.

Hi everyone! It’s been a long time coming, but I can finally tell you all about the project I’ve been toiling away on! Last year, after I set out to explore a different path for my work, one of the areas I really felt drawn to was the emerging tablet space. iPads and other touch... Read the Rest

Conceptualization, Visual Design: BMW/DesignWorksUSA needed to design an engaging future vision piece for a large energy analytics company.

10/07/11--12:31: thanks steve (chan 1027096)

Steve Jobs has passed away. It’s an interesting feeling, this dull bruise that sits in my chest today. I feel that I’ve lost someone close, someone so important.
