Thank you @choosebvc for asking me to be apart of these mini master class creative careers features Repost @choosebvc Creativity doesn’t start with perfection. It starts with an open mind. 🎨✨ Liz Nandee—Interior Decorating grad and founder of Basic Black Designs—has one piece of advice: take everything you think you know about this industry… and think again. Come in fresh. Stay open. Let your creativity tell a story. At Bow Valley College, you won’t just study styles, you’ll experiment, explore, and build the confidence to turn your own ideas into spaces with impact. 🪄🏡 Ready to create a career that feels like you? #FutureBVCStudent #StudyInCalgary #InteriorDecorating #CreativeCareers BVCCalgaryCollege

It’s taken me a while to put this into words… I’ve been trying to say something that hasn’t already been said. As a designer, Bad Bunny’s halftime stage is hands down my favorite halftime production design to date. I am still completely in awe of the vision, the storytelling, and the execution — all in under 25 minutes. The pink casita, the concept of crashing into the living room set (even knowing it was pre-filmed), the rooftop transitions, the power lines… the bodega, bar, barber shop, nail salon, white plastic, lawn chairs — every single detail was intentional, layered, and culturally rich. Nothing felt random. Everything felt lived in. And seeing pieces of my culture represented on a stage of that magnitude? Absolutely surreal. 🤯 From the coconut stand, sugar canes, palm trees, snow cone cart, banana trees, ppl playing dominos, the Caribbean sports bar — 😭😭😭to seeing my families homeland flags 🇹🇹 🇻🇪 and mine 🇨🇦 — it was beautiful, powerful, and deeply meaningful. You didn’t have to understand Spanish to feel the joy, pride, and unity radiating from that stage. Congratulations, Benito, on an extraordinary show. 🙌🏽 And major congratulations to Harriet Cuddeford Bruce Rodgers Jan Oliveras and the entire production, design, and styling team. What a masterclass in cultural storytelling through design. 👏🏽
