Hi! My name is Leen and I’m a Lebanese designer currently living in New York City. My current obsessions include hand-lettering, food, really old dusty things, exotic places and coincidences. I’m constantly inspired by the people around me and the things that they do. MineForNow is where I share these and other daily findings, hoping they’ll inspire others too. Feel free to contact me with any questions/suggestions/comments, or just to say hello! email me leen.sadder@gmail.com OR follow me on twitter @lsadderTumblr (3.0; @minefornow)http://www.mineforgood.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0tbpyF5Dh1qj7p0zo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Beautiful work (via <a href="http://www.behance.net/gallery/MOGOLLON-Self-Promotion/285007" target="_blank">MOGOLLON Self Promotion on the Behance Network</a>)</p>http://www.mineforgood.com/post/19228204043http://www.mineforgood.com/post/19228204043Tue, 13 Mar 2012 03:34:45 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0hawfNsHy1qj7p0zo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>So much of what Tina Roth Eisenberg says in this interview resonated with me.
