Crying in public
I do have a point here (maybe, I don’t know, who knows).
Speed is of the essence
Losing control of craftsmanship.

Synchronicity and late night emails. How famous jazz musician John Coltrane might influence creative team building.

A short poem inspired by a moment in studio
ECLIPSING
Last week we got the chance to see a once in a lifetime event as a total eclipse passed through southwestern North Carolina.
The power of a cohort
Get you a graduate cohort better than mine.
