Week Two:Tuesday

Work has been a bit of a blur. Last week I helped Erica photoshop a bunch of text and photos onto a Guinness World Records building rendering. It was kind of schlep work but I felt like I really contributed to something going out the door. The deadline for it was that day and everyone else was working on other things. I was pretty happy about that. Now I'm working on a children's crawl-space in the Hollywood Ripley's. The Ripley package is due at the end of June, and I'm trying to figure this out before Stephanie gets back from Finland and puts me to work on ArchiCad next week. Work is so unspecific compared to school assignments. I feel like I must be much more self-motivated to succeed. 

Cool Building

I met the owner of the company yesterday, Mr.Bruce D Robinson, and his adorable retriever Lily. :) He took me on a tour of the building. He had it renovated from an old motor company. It's really cool seeing all the quirks of the building preserved like the old freight elevators. It's pretty impressive how the studio space is branded out to be an amazing creative environment. It just goes to show how everything reflects on one's design integrity. (It makes me want to work harder to spread design to other parts of my life, like my room at home! What a mess.)

Bruce told me that the only thing that would hold me back from growing in the company would be myself. I believe that. There's such a long way to go!

Day Numero Uno!

I got stuck outside today.
Jacklyn the co-op student from UC let me in.

All in all it was a pretty exciting day. I met mostly everyone in the firm. Everyone except the principal. He's away in Finland. The project at hand is a renovation of Ripley's Believe It Or Not in Hollywood. I get to work on a transition space, the bathrooms, and a kids crawl space with the co-op student.
