I came across XYDO while researching startups, betas, and innovative new apps for a side project. My first response was to bookmark the site, because I already knew I would frequent XYDO.

First impressions can make or break you, for some it’s the description but for me it’s the logo, the website, and the people behind the idea. XYDO has one of the most visually appealing websites I’ve come across in awhile. The design is amazing, and it is incredibly easy to navigate through the site and content. The XYDO team is clearly destined for greatness, and even though the About page isn’t up yet, you won’t be able to miss them.

Creating art, writing a blog, or recording music usually works best when you have an audience. The support from your audience, in addition to the sheer motivation to continue to create, is enough to inspire anybody.

Before I started writing, I expressed myself through t-shirts, which can be found in my online store. At first it was hard to translate my sketches to Illustrator, but I learned how to use the program to create a new kind of art. I still find it hard to explain how to use Illustrator and Photoshop but once I start my creativity flows and amazing images are created.
