Luckily I had new business cards, so after the dinner, I was able to give one to my charming seat mate Matthew Yee. As he’s an interior designer with an architectural background, I thought he would enjoy coming to visit or lecture at Rhode Island School of Design when his schedule permits. A letter —…
Daniele Neuharth and I just met a few months ago, after I went to visit Art Center College of Design with a mutual friend of ours. Daniele told me she loves the art of the written word, and from that moment on, we recognized in each other a common appreciation of correspondence. She was kind…
