Imagine a carpenter following live blog feeds from an exclusive craftsman tool event. “But wait…just one more thing. Introducing hammer 2.0″. The crowd cheers and young women faint. I must have hammer 2.0. As a designer, I consider my macbook pro a powerful tool-not a way of life. I don’t sleep with my wacom tablet [...]
It’s only been a few months since my formal education has ended and I’m already feeling the hurt. Those painstakingly long critiques, even with their desultory feedback-in hindsight-is better than no feedback at all. Anyway, back to rage against the machine and my (soon to be famous) series of haiku inspired by lunch meat.

Regardless, there were always color issues and complicated work-arounds to try and get the correct output. The problem could be a number of things, one of which [...]
A few weeks ago I was contacted for a story that was to be published in Arcadia’s weekly online publication “The Bulletin”, check it out here! Tetreault Thesis: 35 Days, 35 Articles, 35 Posters
As i make the stupid transition from being a student to being in a great deal of debt, I have been analyzing my lifestyle…mostly because it matters. Seriously. My sleeping pattern over the last…let’s say 5 or so years has not been a schedule at all. All-nighters, 40+ ounce coffee days coupled with jaw-grinding nights. [...]
