Tsunami Around the Pacific

Have you ever started a project and just fell into a funk?  Lost the innovative mindset you had while working on a project and are just afraid you’ll never get it back? There is an answer and its simple. When diving into any task you are in the process of creation, whether it is painting a masterpiece or creating a spreadsheet for your boss.

I’ve got a Sensei!!

Having someone in your life who can help foster you through changes is an important deal. I’ve gotten some great reviews and some ooohs and aaahs about my artwork and design work in the past, but i felt it was time to move forward.
