No rest for the weary–it’s winter break but I’m still slaving over stuff. More on that later, though.

For now, pretty things…a small sample of some of the cool and inspirational work I’ve come across over the last few months. Some of it’s made the rounds already.

Our group photo from the surprise party we threw for the conductor of Georgia Tech’s orchestra and jazz ensemble, who just stepped down and retired. We’d been planning it for many months, trying to reach out to alumni near and far, and it was a huge success.

Brief snapshot of my thesis poster for our poster session on the 10th of December. The title of my thesis is “We’re not in Kansai anymore: Designing for reverse culture shock.”

Picked up a sheet of this at the Virginia-Highlands (Atlanta) Paper Source location. I’m very glad I won’t have a chance to go back there again because the temptation to stock up on more of their gorgeous wares would be way too strong.
