Master’s degree programs can take anywhere from 1-2 years to complete depending on the college and the subject—and they cost just as much, if […]

Born to be Wilde

BORN TO BE WILDE. Oscar Wilde is the perfect example of a man who was living in the wrong time period. At the time he was seen as provocative and ostentatious and now he is seen as inspirational and honest. There are many parts of his work I admire but I managed to boil it down […]

LA vs. Miami

1. THE WEATHER LA is the clear winner in this category. Florida is called the Sunshine State but that isn’t even accurate.

I have found that the best results come from not accepting what is “good enough” but reaching for greatness. Don’t have a million unfinished projects. If you start something then finish […]

Visa Design Challenge, Reviewed

This piece of work is one of my favorites. For the Visa Design Project, Anifer Pita worked alongside the lovely Irina Zabelina, a Russian Native, and also the edgy Eden Paineau.
