Letter from the Editor: A Usable Thing that Looks Beautiful. Modern Design By KARJAKA
I was on the horn last week with a client talking about what KARJAKA is, to which she blurted out off the cuff, "A useable thing that looks beautiful." To which I replied, "Modern Design by KARJAKA."

(Surf and turf on my end, and preferably not having to pay for it.)
