Image by Julian Bialowas. I am currently in my 3rd year of studying design and I am wanting to start a blog a lot like yours. I’m wondering if I should start now and figure it all out, or wait until I’ve got more of a brand going on and do it properly? Simple Advice: [...]

Source: Julian Bialowas. Hi! I see how you adore your job, you put a lot effort into it and, in my opinion, that’s the most important element: PASSION. I’m only 18 and I have realized that I’m just studying physics because it’s like a “safe” way to live my life. You know, you graduate, you [...]

As creatives, something we all struggle with at times is staying organized. Let’s face it: there’s so much stuff out there. Magazines, books, blogs, catalogs, fonts and images galore. It’s enough to make anyone’s head spin. There’s always the thrill of finding an image that strikes your imagination. For me, it’s been much easier to [...]

One of the most common questions I get asked on a regular basis is which beauty products I use. Though I’m not obsessive with trying out new products, I do keep a regular routine and have quite a few favorites from a handful of brands.
