This footage was shot on my last day as an intern at the NYC based design studio Rich, Brilliant, Willing. I started filming at approximately 9:30 a.m. and concluded at 7:30 p.m. The internship was about 3.5 months, beginning September 1st and concluding December 15th 2009. At the end of the day they gave me this beautiful handcrafted trophy:
I kindly thank Charles, Alex, and Theo for putting up with all the filming, blogging, and picture taking.
-so I got a text sunday night from my roommate saying that I needed to move out of her place (apparently Mr. Wong (the landlord) is very strict and she would be kicked out if he found out I was living there) -So now I live in Westwood, New Jersey with my awesome friend Pam and her wonderful grandmother Yita. -I like it here…reminds me of Texas ;) -From here on out I will be taking a train or bus (for an hour) into NYC.
