Visual metaphors and layouts for planning your life � sacha chua :: living an awesome life

http://mylenesereno.wordpress.com Mylene Sereno

I really love your sketches. You get your message across easier and quicker with those visual presentations. I hope I can learn that some time in the future too but right now I’m still rekindling with my long-lost love – watercolor painting. :) One thing that I’ve learned from your sketches is that practice really improves your craft. Your sketches have gotten better and better each time!

By the way, Congratulations on your new business name!
