We first want to thank those of you who have been with us since our beginning in February of 2008, and also those of you we have been able to meet along the way, it has truly made this a great adventure.

I had the opportunity this week to be interviewed by Clint Walkingstick of Eye Say (and one of the guests on The Reflex Blue Show HOW Conference Special: DAY TWO). The questions focused on making the leap to being an in-dependent designer. You can read the interview at the Eye Say Web Log here.
36 Point Got One Minute on the AIGA National Design Conference’s Main Stage
December 22nd, 2009 | by Donovan Beery
I can’t believe it’s already been over two months since we got four designers into a Honda Civic to drive eleven hours from Omaha to Memphis and back in just over four days of time. The event? The AIGA National Design Conference. And on opening night October 8th, Nate and I were invited to be part of the 20/20 hosted by Debbie Millman.
The rules were simple: 1) Be on stage while your presentation was going on and 2) Keep it to sixty seconds.
To see what we, and the other speakers had to say, see the video at the AIGA website here. Our presentation was the first of the group, so we start right after Debbie introduces the event.
