I'm happy to announce the launch of our newest business SafetyDriversEd.com. Safety Driver's Ed is a new venture collaboration between Bay Area Driving School and Ramirez Design.

It contains original illustrations, quizzes, videos, and animations that will keep teenagers engaged while they learn (which was the most important factor to us).

Can't keep quiet about this any longer...

I'm starting a new company and having a great time in the process! The company is called My Picturebook. The product we're creating combines some of my favorite things: Children's Books, Writing, Illustration, Cars, Web2.0, Fun! I'm really excited about the stuff we've developed so far (5 of us, from Berkeley to India) and can't wait to share it with you!
