Took this photo after a lit­tle April shower. Beau­ti­ful apple blos­soms in the birdbath.

Some doo­dles from my sketch­book. I’m hop­ing to post these more frequently.

Play­ing around with a dia­mond pattern idea.

This week I fin­ished a two and a half week project to cre­ate the con­cept and inter­face designs for an iPhone app. The app I came up with is called “Mobile­Muse”. It’s an app that allows users to eas­ily cre­ate dig­i­tal inspi­ra­tion boards. Users can add text, pho­tos, videos, audio, web­sites, and col­ors to a board or mul­ti­ple boards at […]

Global Cross­roads is a blog that aggre­gates posts from the travel blogs of Uni­ver­sity of Min­nesota stu­dents who are study­ing abroad.
