And after a brief stint at USC, I made the "bald" leap to venture out and finish my degree at the University of Wisconsin-Madison before transplanting my tush back in the City of Victoria's Angels.

Studio DNA is an extension of that concept. Studio DNA is a constantly evolving exchange of ideas. At Studio DNA, we intend for people to leave not only feeling...
