I met Laura many years ago in college, and we both happened to move to New York City around the same time after finishing school. She now lives in Chicago, where she launched her interior design business, Outline Interiors. And I might be biased since we’re old friends, but I have to say, her work [...]
Every day is a new adventure (and sometimes it's a new challenge), but to start each morning in a way that sets up my day for success, I have a ritual: 1. Be Kind You never know who is dealing with a bad day, week, month, year...and a little kindness can go a long way, [...]

I love this book for how relevant it has stayed in such an ever-changing digital landscape for photographers. First published [...]
Networking—ew. We all get that feeling after trudging through what feels like a meat market of business glad-handing. I remember one event in particular, where I was surrounded by about 300 other professionals. Our name tags were color coded by industry. As I squeezed my way through the crowd—which was full of fake laughter, booze [...]
