Michelle Obama: Becoming

For me, as for many others, the Obamas embodied kindness, decency, and -above all – intelligence, in sharp contrast to the (cough, cough) circus that followed them in the White House.

Getting A ‘Yes’ On Creative Projects

When you own a small creative agency, the sweetest word you can hear from a client is “yes!” Yes, I love it. Yes, I can’t wait to see more.
