I have some exciting news to share: I wrote a story for one of my home state’s daily newspapers and they published it today. Normally, I wouldn’t consider this blog a forum for the stuff I write in my “real” life, but this particular article is about Honolulu-based indie designer Shannon Hiramoto of MachineMachine. I blogged about her here but I really wanted to learn more about her, how she got her start, etc. So I asked her and she was kind enough to share.

Here’s the link to the article. Thanks for clicking on and reading, I really appreciate it…And if you happen to be in Hawaii, Shannon will be selling her clothes at Rediscover Makiki: Sunset in the Park from Friday-Sunday, July 25-27 at Makiki District Park. (I got this info too late to include in the article.)
