Hi Guys, Whew! I took a mini-weekend trip to Rochester, Michigan this weekend to see my hometown. I hadn’t been back in town since my parents moved to a Philadelphia suburb two and a half years ago. It was a bit surreal to walk the streets with my childhood best friend, Carol Beth, and revisit [...]

At long last! I am proud to say that we are all caught up with work from the past few weeks and I finally have a chance to sit down and tell you all about the press tour in New York. I will start by saying there was incredible amount of clarity and purpose throughout [...]

I just want to pop in and let you all know that I temporarily pulled the Franklin collection off the site while I was in NYC so that I could come back and do a proper inventory. Once I mentioned the mistake in the braille and marked them 50% off, there was a flurry of [...]

Good morning! I am on my way to the second day of desk sides: People Style Watch and Real Simple are on the agenda today. Then I visit my PR showroom and meet the girls at Red Light PR for the first time in person. And after that I go to American Express to talk [...]

I’d like to check in and let you all know about something which came to my attention yesterday right before I left for the airport. It turns out that the program I used to create the Franklin braille necklaces produced the letter preceding each intended letter in the alphabet. For example “BREATHE” came out “AQDASMD.” [...]

I’m excited to explain a little bit more about the collection and show the necklaces in more detail. I have been thinking about doing something with braille for a long time. Graphically, I [...]
