ZERO waste wears ::.

As Nonetheless is in the middle of production here in Chicago. I couldn't resist to share one of the hardest parts of the design, development, and production phase. The reality of ZERO WASTE! Over and over I find myself explaining why things are done a certain way. Sustainability in product design is not an easy feat. Those of you that know me well... know I dig solutions. Here is a nice story from the The New York Times. -- JSP

e-Waste (re)cycling Video ::.

As a designer, I like to think about the purposes, which individuals will truly utilize my creations. Moreover, the enjoyment that it will bring in its life span. Well, watch this video and see things that were once useful and even beautiful destroyed and recycled.

Sweet story. Clever Idea. Good Cause.

An Ode to Keith Haring

In musing of the late Keith Haring (May 4, 1958-Feb 16, 1990) we felt it perfectly appropriate to honor the Keith Haring Foundation. Established in 1989 its mission still remains- to provide funding and imagery to AIDS organizations and children’s programs through his art.

Throughout his career, Haring devoted much of his time to public works, which often carried social messages. What a beautiful relationship: Art + Activism
