success

i'm always a little jealous when i find out that people in my graduating class are doing extremely well for themselves. i always wonder what exactly i did wrong, but i usually remember how ambitious these people were during school. the other day i came across an acquaintance from school with her own business and webzine. the fact that she is still doing well, even in the shit economy, is a crazy thing. though my memories of her at school  were always of awe. she was an industrial design major and was having her projects professionally produced, so she could sell them. or at least to have an awesome prototype to show retailers. the webzine, designglut.com , is a slew of interviews of people who are leaders and/or innovators in their field. what a wealth of knowledge she has of the production side of design?!? she is also quite a designer. i remember chairs and tables from school projects that were outstanding. and looking at her current work, it isn't lacking any of that vision. my favorite piece is the candlestrip candelabra. the candles plug into the powerstrip-like base!
