I direct a small brand design studio, Widgets & Stone, that connects business with creativity. We design tools and strategies that benefit economy, communication, innovation and brand.

At age 34 I got frustrated with having to be self-taught in everything (in regards to running my own design studio), so I applied for an internship at Sagmeister. He said he already had the year of internships filled, but he would put me on the waiting list. A couple months later his intern had to leave early due to a family illness, so I had my chance. I basically spent 28 days making a poster in Photoshop for him (the final file was 1.5 GB in layers in PS). Surprisingly, I learned a great deal from being a lowly unpaid intern and I returned to my own studio reinvigorated and rededicated to pursuing collaborative work.
