Tonight (immediately after my 5pm class) I went to the introductory part of a publishing conference called Publishing Now! The idea of the debates were to talk about the ways in which the publishing industry is changing and get out the pros and cons. Of course, the biggest thing to hit the publishing industry in […]

On Nove 17th, I went to the Great British Business Show. If you don’t know what that is, click here. The best way I can describe the show is Comic-Con for businesses. There are all kinds of booths there with people trying to sell you products or services that will help you with your own […]
New for your vocabulary: compulsory sociality. We had a guest speaker in my first class on Friday (Contemporary Issues and The Creative Economy). While our guest speaker Kate was talking, she dropped this term that I had never heard before, but made absolute sense. It really goes back to the saying: It’s not what you […]
So, I got home last night from the last day of Launch 48. Passed out almost immediately. I’d say I was awake for maybe…maybe, an hour before I couldn’t keep my eyes opened anymore. I was responding to friend’s messages with my eyes closed. (Good thing I’m a decent typist). Today, however, I’m wide awake […]
Unfortunately, I waited too late to do this post; it may not be as in depth as I would like as I’m running on fumes at this point. But all gaps shall be filled at a later date. So, day 2 of my first Launch 48 experience. We have 12 people on our team. But […]
Alright, I went to Launch 48 with my dear friend Simone Nozaki. Let me start by saying, we were late. We got there around quarter to 8pm and the program started at 6. It really wasn’t our fault though. Our bus didn’t arrive until six from uni. I say that to say this, it’s hard […]
I know I blogged about number two first…don’t judge me. It’s taken me a while to get around to this one. On Sept 24th, my professor gave the class an assignment. Go to Town Center and observe customers in their natural habitat, shopping centers. She broke the group into smaller groups and sent us our […]
Friday (the 14th) myself and class went to the Frieze Art fair. It was quite the event. First off, 15 pounds (27.50 day of) it was the most expensive art fair I’ve ever been to. But as soon as you walk in, you can see where that money went. This place is not in a […]
Friday, my Design Thinking and Entrepreneurship teacher Dr. Corrine sent the class on a little mission. We were to go around Kingston Hill campus and ask random people about their shoes. The point of the exercise was to do market research to find out why people buy the shoes they buy then think of a […]
It is design week in London. Thursday and Friday I had the pleasure of attending two different design shows: Tent and Designer’s Block. Both shows were spectacular. But I only have pictures of one. Let me say this. I have been to many artsy shows in my life. And they never allow pictures. Designer’s Block […]
