A friend in SF who was the prototypical "startup designer" just got tired of it after too many failed projects and too many unstable positions and got a job with General Electric designing extremely technical user manuals. He love

This is great. I'm a huge fan of J Hilburn, but what I'm learning is, it's not binary. I also want sportswear, i want polos that fit, etc. The whole market for custom shirts is just opening up and my sense is that you'll
