"Everything changed to me when I found out that I had a passion for lettering."—Ryan Hamrick

In this short video, Ryan Hamrick talks about how he was initially introduced to lettering, and how that changed his life. Speaking to Holstee’s Manifesto, Ryan speaks on sharing your passion, and you’ll wish the clock moved slower—not faster.


As he speaks, you’ll notice that he’s working on a tantalizing typographic project in the background. It’s the 'Share Your Passion' print, for sale over on Holstee’s site.

"If Haiti could turn trash into money, that would be good."

That was on Ian Rosenberger’s mind as he penned his first journal entry in Haiti. Following the earthquake, Ian, a Pittsburgh photographer and videographer came to the area to document the tragedy and destruction to create awareness.

Ian forged deep relationships with locals, going as far as to bring a young boy named Tassy back with him to the states for life-saving surgery. After returning the boy to his home, he realized that that wasn’t enough, going on to found Team Tassy, then Thread, a company that creates products from trash—and therefore jobs—for Haitians.

How does a photographer start a business formed around recycling trash to create jobs? Watch his talk.
