I took this photo outside the Apple store on Boylston Street the day after Steve Jobs passed away. It was a small start in the crazy string of tributes that happened across the nation that week. I’m not a total Apple fan girl. I do love my Mac, but I have an almost equal love for my Droid. I guess what really hit me about Steve’s passing was his legacy. The fact that people left these notes, apples, and flowers outside his stores across the world. 

I remember, as early as 4th grade, lying in bed and wondering how I’d make a difference in the world. It was never about being famous. I just wanted people to stumble onto my work or use something I built and say… Ya know, I forget the woman’s name, but she was incredibly hardworking and oozed passion. hah

I’ve been with my lil startup, Vsnap, for almost 6 months and we’re launching in a couple weeks. I don’t think I’ve ever cared/worked/obsessed over something more than I have with Vsnap. I didn’t build it, but as employee #2, I have been giving my constant feedback, doing website mockups, pitching and chatting with community, etc. When I’m not doing all of the above, I’m reading about other startups/businesses and tools to use to keep up. I feel like so many of the things I’ve gone through in the past few years have led to this job and this moment. Here’s to hard work and slowly chipping away to make my little dent in the world.
