Focal Points & your Next Design Project
Ok, admittedly this is a topic that seems so obvious but can be extremely hard to implement. I mean, focal point/s is one of the first things you learn when designing, how hard can it be, right? After many years of knocking out various design projects, I still find this one of the hardest principles […]
Kutiman’s Thru You Too is a Musical Masterpiece
There’s this song playing on the radio and it feels all too familiar, almost as though you can remember and sing along with the lyrics. I never really gave it more thought as it plays on the radio that often you’d presume just another new hit. However; waking up this morning with the song playing […]
Angry Much? Getting A Little Too Personal?
I recently had a conversation with a good friend of mine. Without going into too much detail, he is pretty much the opposite of me. He is Swiss German and very meticulous and consistent.

When a Job Interview goes Awkward
Recently I had the pleasure of attending an interview at a large company. Everything seemed promising but somehow turned into an awkward mess. Selling myself usually comes naturally; yeah I know- it’s all me, but on this particular occasion it was like the gods had decided to hand me a shit day. Some Foreplay or […]
Upcycling- Building a Book Shelf from Wooden Crates
I am a fan of the old home-brew and have collected quite the collection of wooden beer crates over the years. My wife recently pointed out that we have outgrown our bookshelf and it is time for something larger. A quick search online and in our local stores we are reminded that not only is […]
