INDIE MART

i've been a bad blogger

i know that i haven't been very good at updating this blog. but i have been busy.

i went to POOLtradeshow in las vegas which was fantastic. i haven't been to las vegas since i was a kid and i really think as a former urban planner i would hate it, but you know what it's awesome. i was also lucky enough to see O at the bellagio which was incredible. it's been a long time since i've seen something so inspiring. so i will leave you with a clip and a promise to come back and update more frequently.

ARCHICRAFT on PONOKO
