Nowadays, in my eyes, everyone is considered a CREATOR. Coders create codes; painters create paintings, musicians compose records; anything you are passionate about is considered your art; you're an artist. I'm a student designer, but many times in life, I question, do people really understand creators at our age or why are we so distanced from "normal" people. We like to talk "design language," I get it, and we are inexperienced from society. Well...what about grab a cup of REDBULL and prepare to go down the conversation street with me and hear what ideas we have to offer and our views on topics from art to tech, tech to drinks, drinks to politics, politics to fashion and so on. We might get nerdy at points, but I promise you that you won't be disappointed. Or else add some vodka to that red bull then it gon be a party. There will be a different guest every week from all professions. This is Nexus*.

    In this episode I am glad to have my friend Davis smith with me talking about all the Random things we do at RISD. We talk about some design, but mainly the fun stuff. He is a mucho talented person, but somethings drinks too much. The design notes, and life discussions are within the lines in the discussion mainly focused on alcohol, so you'll have to listen between the lines to find them. Next time with Davis I guarantee we will talk more about design and his motorcycle but today come chill with us and let us go down the conversation street.
