Karim Rashid

i enjoyed this interview with Karim Rashid, and how he talks about design and style - he is very unique and i love his attitude about what he does! Tomorrow at the IDS West Show, he is speaking and my class is going to be there - exciting! And my first ever IDS industry-only show! Should be fun! Hope you enjoy this too!
