A STUDENT INTERNSHIP…
I’ve been taking Digital Media classes out at Cabrillo Community College for a couple of years now. After many hours and many projects, I’m just about to attain my Associate’s Degrees in Web Media and Digital Publishing. I love it! I’ve always been a creative type, and computers are no longer the wave of the ...
NEW INTERN – KYLE MORRISON
Like everyone else, I’ve been an artist all of my life. I however, have always had a great appreciation for it. I first demonstrated my appreciation for art before I can even remember. My mother tells a story about us driving around San Francisco, and at age 4 I was showing my appreciation for the ...
NEW EMPLOYEE – RACHEL LONG
I soak up everything that is design. I just can’t help myself. I love what i do. I live what I do. And I’ll probably never retire.

IMPACT831: El Salchichero
We love meat here, and there is none better than El Salchichero in Santa Cruz. If you haven’t tried their meats, you must. The ground beef is amazing. The bacon is how bacon should be. Meat as it should be… local, fresh and of the best quality available.
SILHOUETTES

Because of this act as well as many other [frugal] decisions for his country, his name became eponymous with anything made or done cheaply. And so, as ...
TYPE 02: WEB-TYPOGRAPHY
Web design is evolving every day. I remember when as a designer, I had to promote the use of the very limiting and not very attractive set of typefaces that were available as “webfonts”. Despite their lack of flexibility on the screen, that has all changed. Google wasn’t the first to do it, but I ...
LEICA M9 SHORT REVIEW
Leica M9. I love the camera. When I started the process of researching which new camera system I was going to dive into, I didn’t consider the rangefinder camera. I didn’t know there was a viable digital version that had the quality I was used to with my Nikon D2X. The reason I wanted to ...
TECHRAISING
I represented Studio Holladay at the first ever TechRaising event and it was a blast. Not only did we have around 80 creative and business-minded people attending, over 30 projects were pitched and around a third of those were picked by teams. The whole idea behind TechRaising is powered by the entrepreneurial minds of Santa ...
ESSAY 831: Stripe
We met with the ladies of Stripe yesterday to discuss a plethora of things. Mainly, due to the fact that we both love the atmosphere of their store and are constantly buying things from them, we want to develop some sort of mutually beneficial relationship with them. Suna and Dana, the founders and creative minds ...
CORNER, SAN FRANCISCO
Last night we had a great meeting of the minds at a cool new pop-up restaurant in SF. Ken, Greg, Conrad, Nick and I all enjoyed great wine, food and strategic planning. Not a bad way to end the day, and plan future endeavors. Shot on my new Leica M9, with the Voigtlander 35, 1.4 ...
