serendipity

a quote by Lawrence Block:

“Serendipity. Look for something, find something else, and realize that what you’ve found is more suited to your needs than what you thought you were looking for.”

simply squared

one of the rings that you’ll almost always see me wearing is this unique square ring that April Kawaoka from Etsy makes. what makes this ring so unique is the all around square shape.

it is also one of the most comfortable rings i own. many people have stopped to ask about it so i thought i’d write about it and let you know where you can purchase one for yourself.

people always ask, when did you realize you wanted to do graphic design?

normally, i answer, my first year at cal poly san luis obispo when i realized i did not want to be an architect. but when i think back on this some more, i realize that i was destined to be a graphic designer as early as the age of 7. each year in grade school, we had scholastic book fairs. now, out of all the books i could have picked, the very first book i totally had to have, desperately wanted and begged my mom for was a lettering book.
