“Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist” Pablo Picasso There’s a difference between professionals who simply paint as their teachers taught them, or artists like Picasso that redefine the standards.

Are You A Consumer Or A Creator?
We can’t really be both at once. But we usually start our day by being a critic. Browsing through social media and the news to judge positively or negatively about what others are doing. We finish our day as an audience member, browsing through videos and articles. We become a consumer day-in and day-out. Without […]

The Warranty We’ll Never Get On Our Phones
One of the biggest devices to get excited about is a new phone. New models have a giddy appeal. We get excited about all the new features we have access to. Some people take the time to research safety though. What if their phone breaks? What if it gets stolen? We start to look in […]
