A Short Film

My friend David Chen recently entered a film making contest. He was given a required dialogue, prop and character and he needs to make the film in 48 hours. David, who is in Marketing, who had never made a film in his whole life, gethered a few interested friends and made the film over the weekend. He said it was very interesting, difficult, and he will do better next time. I really believe we can do anything if we put our minds to it and act on it. Good luck to David and his new found interest!

Updates from Ippie!

Long time no blog!! It's been quite a busy month working and travelling and working more!

So, there are quite a few things to update about Ippie Design. First of all, our new collections are finally finished, catalogued and available for wholesale buyers while our previous collections continue to sell well. Secondly, we are being featured as one of the cover stories in Money Magazine's July issue. Money Magazine even flew me out to LA for the cover's photo shoot. It was such an exciting trip where I got to meet four other entrepreneurs that are also featured on the cover. The photo shoot was so much fun, I have attached some behind the scene pictures along with this post. So if you have a chance pick up the July issue of Money Magazine! It should be in store in mid-June.
