Hey Kevin, thanks for the kind remarks. You're right, the rewards to the heart are huge -- but I do love getting the great photos too. BTW, appreciate your thoughtful comments in staff.
I'm sure the gifts to the heart you receive in your work with Design4Kids is beautiful enough ... the fringe benefits from beautiful work like this has to be sure bliss. Kudos Amigo!
My day job is as an in-house graphic designer for the worlds premier aerospace company. Nights, weekends, and vacations I feed my creative juices as director of the Design4Kids project which connects creative professionals with talented teens in week-long workshops in Central America. It's a satisfying way to combine my passions for travel and creativity with my desire to contribute something deeply meaningful to the world. And I get to share the wealth with other established and emerging creative professionals.
