STEP Magazine + Stage Fight

First, the news: I was chosen by STEP Inside Design Magazine as one of their top 25 emerging artists! From the cover: "A first look at the 25 freshest minds in design". Terry Lee Stone curated and wrote the cover story - this is from her opening statement: "I looked for creative people doing intriguing work with a strong voice... I wanted people doing new work in new ways for new audiences. I had to first evaluate based on my stated criteria, then consider something else: What is "emerging" anyway? The individuals on my list couldn't be "too emerged" or "not quite emerged yet." They needed to be representative of where we are now, and where we might be going."
Wow. It's always been tough for me to see my work from an outside perspective. I get so connected to the work, and in such a different way than my 'audience' that it always amazes me to hear somebody talk about me and my work in terms like that. So thank you STEP, and thank you Terry Lee Stone!

I finished photography for the 2008-2009 OBT collateral work right before the holidays. Chris and Josh assisted me, and took the test shots up a level. Rock On!
