Listen to Chuck Groenink (previously) folks. He’s on to something!
Happy Monday!


If you’ve noticed that I was gone for a couple of days, it’s because I just came back from being a guest speaker at The One Academy’s Y U NO PROCESS event this morning. It was held for third year students and it was amazing to speak in front of a bunch of interactive (and very cheeky) students!
My talk was about life as a design process and how one should design their life above all else. I gave tips, examples and shared some of my own processes that got to where I am today – and got lots of laughs, giggles and cheer along the way.
To the organizers who I have come to regard as friends (you crazy bunch you!), thanks for organizing a kick-ass show! To the students who listened, thank you so much for humoring me, and for those who sought me out personally (you know who you are), I’ll remind you this: You really can do anything you want.
I’ll do a proper recap next week, but until then, I’m going to just crash for the next couple of days!
Have a good weekend folks!





Love these psychedelic patterns and fashion created by Peter Pilotto for their pre-spring 2013 collection. The simple silhouettes work beautifully as a clean canvas for these eye-grabbing patterns!
