I went to see Sascha Lobe speak on Tuesday night at MAD, as part of AIGA design talk extravaganza. He runs L2M3 in Germany. And he’s really hot. Once I got over that and started paying attention (lets be honest, I still haven’t gotten over it), it reminded me of the work I did with BaseContinue reading “Concept, play, and the space between”

Making connections
In the past few years since I started this blog, it’s biggest purpose has been to make connections between the thoughts in my head and the work I’m doing.

I’m working on two web projects – one for a client and one for my own idea – and in my research I’ve been observing some interesting trends in digital space. When creating an identity for a new business, one of the mostContinue reading “Truth, transparency and the web”

This is a culmination of a few months of thoughts and notes scattered through various notebooks, word docs and scraps of paper. I found it really interesting that everything I’ve been thinking about over this length ofContinue reading “Thoughts on the Palacio de Cristal and the translation of architectural space to digital”
