Amazing new music website by my friend.

It lets you find new, unsigned, artists, by searching a database and typing in a bands you already love. Links to myspace pages etc...

Works like a charm. Amazing site. Graphically beautiful. BuzzChips. Check it out!

The company I work for just renovated a space for this shop, Santa Eualia, in Barcelona. The image here is actually of the temporary location where they were housed in the interim...but it's really nice I think! Reminds me of the Ethics + Aesthetics design I did with Pratt...

I feel like I have lost this commitment of the social purpose of design and architecture. I hope the winds will change soon and somehow my commitments will reflect my best heart...

life outside of the city

I am really about to pull my hair out from getting city stir crazy. It's really pretty depressing this time. My passport has even expired. I have been really poor being in design school for the last three years and now on a designer's salary, it doesn't get much easier to splurge on world travel.
Thank heavens to my wonderful friends with a truck - Suzanne and Sam. Whether it's a simple drive up to Greenpoint or a little further, up the Hudson, I love a chance to get outside of normal life with them.
Here is a custom card that Suzanne made me for my birthday. She hand stitches them. I love this card because she made it, and also because it is a testament to our wonderful day at Storm King...

signs of life

If there's ever something missing in a room for color or vibrance, it's usually plants and books.
It is not a coincidence that they are also both indicators of human vitality and natural life in a room.
