Being in art school is great until you’re lugging an installation work across the city to get home in a giant ikea bag.

The setup:

R: my normal laptop that can run CAD softwares and Google Chrome

Got all dressed up for a nice little American thanksgiving at home

I think one of the best parts of being treated for cancer last winter was the subway station I designed in a chemo-induced haze.
