transformation at work

Our collaborative met last night to continue working on a project we started earlier this summer: revamping the local office of the National Conference for Community and Justice. Our ultimate goal is to transform the space in such a way that it better reflects the group's noble work and mission: to build a community free of bias, bigotry and racism.
These are a couple of the quick sketches we put together during the meeting to better share our collective vision with the client.

it's in the mail!

the prospectus has been sent to our potential book publisher. keep your fingers crossed for us!

Today I'm definitely experiencing the sparks that occur when passion and 'work' intersect!

newcomer's update

victoria and i met briefly to talk about the newcomer's project. she's back from italy and FULL OF ENERGY. i'm really excited about this project because victoria's approach to teaching is about the reggio-emelia system of education. well, hey, it's italian, so that's a point in it's favor off the bat. the essential point of the approach is that the ENVIRONMENT IS THE THIRD TEACHER IN THE CLASSROOM. um....yeah!!
