A heartfelt thanks to my dear friend, Dakota Keck, for a really lovely post about Ketchup and Mustard that was published on The Black Harbor last month. Dakota is a fellow NC State graduate who is currently a designer for Dwell Magazine (!) and just also happens to be a world class photographer (!). Not only did she make me cry – surprise (n..) – with such kind words, but she also reminded me how important it is that design have a place bridging the gap between the gallery and the vernacular worlds. Read all of Dakota’s posts or visit her personal blog to see what inspires her. Dakota is also a member of The B-Team.
