…not literally, i assure you. but have you seen what she’s been up to lately at the design for mankind headquarters? Beside establishing her very own magazine, which has been filled with awesomeness since its inception last year, she has been busy creating project after project, including free encouragement, giveaways galore, and bakery where she helps bake businesses with collaborator jaime derringer of design milk. I can barely keep up! Because as if that was not enough, Erin has just begun another super cool project of the video variety called dialogue…
Erin says the goal of dialogue is simple: we want to say what we’re not saying: “talk about what we’re not talking about. you know, the realistic side of living a life of creativity.” She has rounded up a slew of artists to speak on some great topics, the first episode being about “how to keep the balance” featuring artists Jen Gotch, Lisa Solomon and Kelly Lynn Jones….

so for all the artists and designers and people who want to be artists or designers of some kind out there, click here to view the first episode! hmm, i wonder who else erin has rounded up for dialogue…?

I love the picture for the bakery site. I have 2 chairs in my shop that are identical to the one on the far left and some papier mache masks of foxes and tigers too!
I have bookmarked this site as I’ve been looking for a blog like this for a while. A bit of mental stimulation for a small business owner.
Thanks for sharing.
