Seattle Design Meet Up - Matte Stephens
So, get this in your diaries pronto quick. The next meet-up will be on April 16th at Velocity's new location in South Lake Union and the guest speaker will be Matte Stephens!

Matte is moving from Alabama to Portland, Oregon, so we thought this would be a great opportunity to welcome him to the Pacific Northwest and hear him talk about being an independent artist. John from Velocity has been a long time stockist of his work, so we will also be able to get a retailer's perspective.
I'll post up details here closer to the time (when they've actually been finalised). Please contact me here if you would like to be added to our event mailing list.
Here's a bit more scoop on Matte, who has been taking blogland by storm in recent months.

Oh, Paola...by "donations" I meant for the food and such not $$$$ :)
