Network

Shambhala International, a worldwide Buddhist community working towards a saner world. I am a longtime member, and am involved in ongoing design projects.

I am also proud to be a part of Creative Latitute, a worldwide community that unites various creative disciplines for collective promotion, education and ethical business practice.

As a believer in ethical business practice, I support the work of no-spec.com to educate design providers and buyers on the dangers of working on a speculative basis.
