last but not least
I’ve got a lot to work on and so does this city – my time in Detroit isn’t done // I’ll be out here ~ stay beautiful, Detroit.
Here’s a song by J Dilla to get you through missing my blog posts:
when it rains, it pours
In a In a good way, you know? Every good heat wave needs rain to brake it. Sometimes, work and responsibility can feel like a burden, but that’s when I reflect on how grateful I am. This year has been nothing short of a whirlwind filled with work, fun, love, loss and understanding. A new city brought […]
mo pop
Was extremely hot, and v. mellow. Definitely worth it if you bought the tickets in a 4-pack, not so much for a day pass. Seeing the riverfront activated for a festival is pretty awesome and small crowds conducive to having a good seat anywhere are always a plus.

Father John Misty – the dude is cool, […]
sunsets, smiles and colors
Sunsets, smiles and colors – here are some pictures I found on my work desktop over the past year. Graffiti, social innovation, and beans from the eastern market // my grandma, my love, and Detroit. Cheers.
timehop
Yesterday, I came across an old tweet on timehop from exactly a year ago that read:
“I have an interview with GM’s innovation team on Thursday HAHAHA wait, what’s innovation?”

Time Flies
It also flies when you’re having fun, and this year has been the fastest one yet.
With the year quickly coming to a close, I know that 2015 will be a year to remember – it’s brought new faces, new friends, new jobs and a new city to call home. This year has been one of […]
Design in Detroit
Before embarking on the Challenge Detroit Journey, I had no prior knowledge of the design thinking process, but that has quickly changed. Detroit has not only been a full immersion into the city, it has also been an introduction into the immersive design thinking process. We use it navigating our challenges, and it is a […]
Music is cool
Last week, I called an Uber and got picked up by “Pastor Mike” to go see a show at Saint Andrews Hall, which in many ways looks like an old church. With a quick google search I was informed that Saint Andrew’s Hall is “a Detroit music venue and concert hall/formerly the meeting place for […]
