Endorse Me!
I’ve been lucky to receive some very sweet endorsements from some great PBR classmates like Hugh McElveen, Molly Ross, Christa Forster and Misha Penton. Walled Garden? I hope I at least half deserve their kind words. The only catch is, as Christa can tell you, NovoEd is a Walled Garden. …

There’s a Light (One Light)
For the Blueberry Blintz team Relational Art/PBR assignment, I had to do two things at once — pick up my kids from school while simultaneously working on my PBRA project.
