7. A coupon a day keeps child hunger away.
6. Colombia gets inspired.
5. From plastic to print: artists unite.
4. The greenest shade of shoes yet.
3. Subtle branding is back. AMEN!

Just wondering what you mean when you state that you are not a feminist? Does it mean you don't believe a woman should get equal pay for equal work, that a woman shouldn't be safe from domestic violence & sexual abuse? Surely all modern women in free socities are feminists. We are able to say NO, we have the right to vote, we can choose when, where & if we work, who we love, whether to marry, if we have kids or not etc etc. Isn't feminism all about having autonomy in our own life & the right to choose who we will be regardless!!! When did "feminist" become a dirty word?

Hi Sharyne!!!

Thanks so so so much for your comment. You raise a fantastic point re: feminism and the fact that is has such a negative connotation.

I have tremendous respect for all types of feminists and find their knowledge of the topic quite inspiring. I don't know much re: the history of feminism in terms of the definition at hand (radical, third-wave, etc), but all I can stand for is what I know from my experiences.

So I guess when I say that I'm not a feminist, it simply means that I haven't figured out where to categorize myself on the spectrum. It's a bit like saying I'm not a photographer, b/c I haven't committed myself to studying the craft. I do, however practice photography techniques at times, but I wouldn't label myself as such.

Does that make ANY sense? I do hope I haven't offended you, and I think your points are right on. I'd love to talk with you more about your thoughts--- email me!!! :)

welcome.

because beauty lies in the details of design. in the pencil shavings, in the blueberry waffles. the vintage dress, framed portrait, old postcard.

design is inevitable. celebrated. design for mankind.
