…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….

Well, actually my hosting company could apologise (I am still waiting for it).

In the meantime, let’s pick up where we left off shall we…
