UPDATE: New chairs!… sort of…
A few weeks ago I mentioned I was having some chairs upholstered with some really chic fabric.

Over my 21-month employment here at the university, I’ve done some amazing things when it comes to design. I’ve created crisp new logos, I’ve designed pieces with only a whisper of direction from my superiors, I’ve been recognized by others on campus for my contributions to our college communications…. but somehow the one thing that…
