Welcome to The IDEAS Booklet!
This, my new venture, brings together beauty, thought, and a curated view of the things I love.
I did not start this print magazine out of spite or defiance against digital technology. On the contrary, I love social media and the internet. It's just that I find myself looking at images longer when on paper, forcing me to digest the content more fully before moving on. As a person with many creative projects, I need to see things to get ideas, and so slowing down helps me actually see more.
Who am I? My name is Michael Andolsek, and I'm a former dressmaker. For over ten years, I specialized in women's custom apparel and women’s RTW. After designing exclusively for my own business, though, I moved from Salt Lake City to explore a change. I've settled in Atlanta, but can't make up my mind on what to do. So, in the meantime, I'm combining my interests. The result? This new, bimonthly venture.
I'm so glad you're here, and I hope you stick with me!
