The intuitive design makes finding, keeping, and removing all the channels the user focuses on very simple and clean. No clutter design and no complicated motions to scroll through the various channels and videos available. We really wanted to focus on the design of Pheebo.

To some people, automotive might be surprising, but we''re the leading center for automotive design and automotive accessories. A lot of people think of Los Angeles--rightfully so--as a creative hub, and just equate us with media and entertainment. However, I think that definition will shift to include physical goods as well.

So I wish this separate definition would go away. Others should swing for the fences - Some companies are designed to be big, industry changing plays. It basically boils down to: educate, entertain, have a dialog, don’t be boring and don’t sit on large panels (doh!). But you’re not an angel.
