Singing Away!
Just a little refreshment for the soul & spirit, with a old school gospel song. When I’m not designing, I try to get my singing on….LOL!
Is This Cool Or What!
While driving around the neighborhood spreading the word about the youth explosion at our church, my wife and I ran into this day care center that was designed to look like Noah’s Ark. Man this is what you talk about standing out. If I needed one I would defiantly look into having my kids go there just for the presentation. Very refreshing!
Meet Janae Designs!
This is a very touching and inspiring story. My good friend’s (JWILL) brother in-law has used his skills to create equipment to change children with Cerebral Palsy lives for the better.
Overview
It is the belief of doctors, therapists & parents that children with Cerebral Palsy and spasticity in their legs face a constant battle with shortened hamstrings and adductor muscles as they grow. If not stretched daily, this tightness often contributes to orthopedic problems, which eventually require tendon release and osteotomy surgery to overcome. To help prevent such surgery and improve the mobility and quality of life of these children, my company will partner w/ special needs organizations and specialists to identify 365 children throughout the USA that have been diagnosed with cerebral palsy & spasticity/tightness problems. We will then build & deliver the customized equipment FREE to 365 eligible Special Needs Children.
Please vote Janae Designs guys

“It’s important for a brand to understand their new role as a Publisher. It’s important for a brand to understand that nothing happens unless they are interesting. It’s also important for a brand to understand that none of that matters unless they are relevant……..” Read full write up!

As you know my design background is Architecture, graphic and web designing was something I started on the side before SKILLA was born. An in that field I had a chance to work with Terry Stewart in 2007 on a few interior design projects, we kept in touch even after the projects we worked on were finished. He is a great person and a great Interior designer, his humility and dedication is among the best. It was great to see first hand his creativity and how he puts awesomeness in a room.
