Our first stop of the day was the Behance Network, a free platform for the world's leading creative professionals. There, you can showcase your work, gain exposure, and advance your career. We met with Matias Corea, chief designer and co-founder of Behance. He is one of the most amazing, real, and smartes guys ever. He is very passionate about design, and takes it very serious. We sat around a table discussing a matter of different subjects. He was very interested in our personal passion and dream for the future. He gave very blunt but constructive responses. He encouraged us to surround ourselves with people that is passionate about design as we are. He taught us that we need to value ourselves, and our talent. We are so ever grateful and thankful for our time with him. (Matias if you're reading this you need to come to Phoenix!)
Our other stop later that evening was the Ogilvy agency. They took us on a more architectural tour of the building. It was very clean and modern, and they even had a painting painted in blood. I didn't take a picture of that. They were very cordial, and we thanked them for taking the time to show us around.
Chris and Amy had an appointment to see Matthew Waldman, owner of Nooka watches, a brand of watches that are modern and contemporary.

Speaking with Matias was one of my favorite parts of our trip! Such a smart and fun guy.
