STAND UP COLLECTION
FOR VIDA™
A couple of weeks ago a got a request from Vida, they asked me to join their gang of creators and design a collection. I looked them up and really liked their quality and variations of styles.

A third is the Water of Life – Wine.
I’M GUINEA PIG
Did you know I’ve been a research object in a study about creativity?
I was interviewed several times for hours about My Creative Process.
