Small Projects #1: Business Card Rack
A lot of my favorite work happens when making things for people I know. It’s not exclusive in anyway, I feel like I get to know people when I’m making things for them. An exchange of ideas, compromises. A melding of aesthetic and functional values. It sort of feeds my want to please people, but…
