I first met Jeff while acting as Social Media Chair for AIGAKC. Jeff saw a real need for design education in Guatemala and has been recruiting creative professionals to help Guatemalan youth ever since through Design4Kids. After learning about the program, I asked him to contribute to our Discussions blog, and I am honored that […]

A belated post due to a busy week at work! So without further ado, our weekly feature: I first met Jeremiah while showing work at this past year’s Firebelly Holiday shop: what an honor to be showcased in the same room!

He’s now two years out of college, and has already worked at some amazing design studios such as Rule29 and Segura, Inc. After a stint at an ad agency, he realized that just wasn’t for him. Now […]

You’ve probably heard of or seen them before, so I’ll just let their work speak for them: Jessica Hische site | blog Marian […]

The past two weeks have been spent finishing up projects that were already in progress. This week, I hope to start working on some new work. Week 1: […]

Over the past six months, my blogging has been sporadic at best, so naturally there have been a few news items that got lost in the shuffle. So what better way to recap everything than with a nice, big post with pictures? My Photography Featured in Food Network Magazine If you recall, I announced this past May […]

As many of you know, I’m a (not-so-) reformed science nerd. (By the way, if you can name the song today’s title comes from, you win my eternal esteem.) As such, I’ve been both delighted and a tad bit perplexed by all of the Periodic Tables that keep popping up across my feed-reader (where do […]

While in D.C., I managed to slip into the National Gallery for just one hour. Although they Do have little 1-Hour-Must-See maps, I figured I’d just hit up the West Wing for the time I was there. I grabbed as many photos as I could. A post will be coming later on S&D highlighting my […]
