After graduating from Carnegie Mellon University with a degree in Illustration, and working in both canvas paintings for interior designers and a small printing company, I settled into a 17-year career at first Penton Publishing, then Penton Media, Inc. I started as an Illustrator, but advanced to design and ended up taking my magazine through the process of being the first Penton publication to m

ove to the all digital printing platform. Since 2005 I have enjoyed a robust freelance career, and still work with some of the great Penton talent I enjoyed working with previously. My illustration background, technical skill, design ability and connections to some of the city’s finest illustrators, photographers and writers makes me uniquely qualified to get your project done perfectly and on budget.

Finland’s education system has become a global example of what an ideal school structure might look like. Imagine this: no standardized tests, a 9 to 2 schedule, and less homework. Sounds like a dream, right? And yet, Finland “accidentally” became the world’s leader in education by focusing on well-being rather than endless assessments. The irony of it all is that they didn’t set out to be the best—they simply did what made sense.

In a world where students often face intense pressure, Finland’s system promotes balance and happiness. Teachers work shorter hours but are paid well, treated with the respect they deserve, and given the freedom to teach creatively. It's no wonder their students consistently outperform others on the global stage. Finland isn’t just redefining education; they're proving that a happy teacher equals a successful student.

We all could learn a thing or two from this model. Imagine a world where education isn’t a constant race but a place for curiosity, joy, and balance. Finland is leading the charge, and it’s time the rest of the world caught up! 📚🏅

The American Radiator Building in New York City, completed in 1924, stands as a striking fusion of Art Deco form and Gothic drama — its black bricks and glowing gold crown turning a skyscraper into a night-time monument. A true icon of early modern Manhattan.
