This week it's Marjja Tiurina, who currently lives in London.

In Response to TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2012

In addition to having my assets, I am currently working on a detailed storyboard, that will help me as I am on my journey to get this completed. Very exciting. I like the feeling that everytime we have class, I have new ways of moving forward aside from, develop concept and what is the look and feel. Even though the advanced students didn't present, I had what I needed so I can move forward, and that is the most rewarding.
