Jan 23 Grand Central Market in Downtown L.A.

Photo by Stephanie Plomarity.

Grand Central Market is loud, colorful and lively. It's gone through a transition in the last 10 years along with the rest of downtown L.A., becoming a more polished arena of sleek neon signs and trendy eateries. While I truly enjoy the new experience, part of me really misses the taquerias and fruit stands that once populated this massive warehouse. There are still a couple scattered in between all the newness, but with changes occurring so rapidly in this area of town I'm not sure how long they'll last.

If you're coming to visit L.A., start here for breakfast or lunch and then wander around to many sights surrounding it.

Other sights near Grand Central Market:

Bradbury Building
Museum of Contemporary Art
The Broad Museum
Disney Concert Hall designed by Frank Gehry
Angel's Flight
The Last Bookstore

In my normal day to day, I create ideas and designs for ecommerce companies, which means strict rules and guidelines for what the output should be. When I get around to creating poster designs for SoFar Sounds, I treat them like an abstract piece of art.

A Weekend at Crystal Lake

Sep 23, 2016

Surprising as it may be for most people, Los Angeles is surrounded by national parks and within a 30min drive you can go off the grid and into nature for an escape from the concrete jungle. My friend Rachel and I headed to Crystal Lake in the San Gabriel mountains on a sunny October weekend to unwind.
