Down Goes the Scooter
I was riding my scooter down Pearl Street in Boulder, Colo. when an SUV turned left in front of me. I had to lay the scooter down and slid for about 20-30 meters before stopping just before the car.

New Jeans. Incredible Finishes. Less Water.
Here’s how it all started. A team of us – all designers – went to one of our laundries and told the folks there that we wanted to do the most incredible denim finishing we’d ever done – but we didn’t want to use water.If you’re into blue jeans like I am, you know that’s a tall order.I mean, anyone can create a jean using less water. But the challenge is using innovative techniques to create the finishes customers want…without using a lot of water.We believe we’ve done both.

Full Frontal. Graphic, Too.
Cool is subjective - in my opinion a cool T is based on brand relevance, it depends on where it comes from and where it’s going. A bad T is a design that exploits current predictable pop culture art / design trends. I think a brand should represent its own original vision.

Shape What's to Come
I don’t know about you, but I think that being a woman, or a girl or a chick or whatever you prefer to call yourself – is pretty awesome.That’s not to say life isn’t full of challenges, but women in their twenties or “Millennials,” as the researchers like to call them, literally and figuratively have the world at their fingertips.

What was it – five teens committing suicide in the past few weeks as a result of bullying? And those were just the ones that we heard about.These tragedies occurred because the bullies believed their targets – the victims – to be gay. But no matter what you think about a person’s sexual orientation, you have to agree that bullying is bad.
