Ray, always such a pleasure connecting with you and thank you for sharing your stories, insights and inspiring messages with our community. We’re looking forward to getting the download and what you have been up to since our last interview, but first can you briefly introduce yourself to folks who might have missed the prior conversation.
My name is Ray Allen lead designer for Made By Lfdf Collection. I started with the brand back in 2012 with just a dream and a vision..

Great, so let’s jump into an update on what you have been up to since we last spoke. What can you share with us?
To fast forward since our last interview a lot has changed. Relocated the studio, gained more partnerships & lost some. It’s not always going to be good news right? It’s all lessons to be learned the most important part is how you bounce back from them. I done just that with more exciting collabs and placements to be announced on a later time. I can give you guys one inside we’re talking big scale Walmart storefront on their website.
