Making Things That People Love

When the pandemic hit I was working inside a VC fund with my friend Mike on an idea. It is an interesting and super-crowded space that needs new and interesting disrupters. When the Pandemic closed our office it also closed the offices of most of our prospective customers. So we…

Brand Guidelines

A set of brand style guidelines is meant to be a ruler to measure usage against, not a club to wield against the oncoming hordes. As our glorious design lead loves to say “Consistency for consistency’s sake is bullshit.” — David Robinson The overarching goal and aim of this set of rules is to create cohesion, and not draconian consistency for the sole sake of making everything the same. There is a design adage: you can’t break the rules properly until you know the rules.

Whats going on at standing rock? In layman’s terms.

Oil company partially owned by Trump is currently laying an oil pipeline across sacred land that was given by treaty to Native Americans and then taken back. The permits were issued without the legally mandated review of it’s historic and environmental significance. Now they are trying to put pipe underneath the only reservoir that serves water to that entire area even though the same pipeline was diverted from going under a different water source (that did not serve a Native American population) because it was considered too much of a risk to the water supply. The affected people are peacefully protesting attempting to stop the progression of the pipeline while being attacked by a militarized local police force.

Vive la Révolution!

I saw the first woman president today! I’ll back up… What if everyone had good jobs? What if we as a people all cared for and about each other? Were accepting of one another. Didn’t try to impose belief systems upon one another. I watched my 10 year old girl…
