I am too excited for words. Today my little blog had a very big day – I was featured on the seriously fabulous Design For Mankind. My goodness, this is huge people. Huge I tell ya! You can read the post right here.

Design For Mankind is an award-winning blog dedicated to showcasing the talents of the emerging art and design community, with some serious “blog cred” {I thought that this occasion called for a new, made up word}. This is the first ever press coverage for yellowtrace, and you’ve all probably worked out that I am beyond excited. But above all, I am so grateful to Erin for her generosity and support. Thank you Erin…

Oh. My. Goodness! I can barely contain my excitement people! Ryan Rusell is in the house!!!

Ryan first came onto my radar back in 2007 when his first solo project, Left, was nominated for an Interior Design Award in the Retail Category, and his practice was awarded Emerging Interior Design Practicethe same year. I distinctly remember opening the magazine and seeing a “hero” image for Left and instantly attempting to look up Ryan’s website hungry to see and know more. But his site at the time didn’t reveal much, other than that it was “coming soon”. I bookmarked it for later, and eagerly awaited it’s launch. There was something about Ryan’s work that instantly drew me in, and I’ve been watching this young man go from strength to strength ever since…
