Happy New Year From Lisa Mende Design!

This picture of my friend and fellow designer Courtney Lake featured in

the San Francisco BayTimes pretty much sums up New Year’s for me.

Put on your best suit and party til the cows come home. Courtney is

inspirational to me because he always makes the best of every situation.

He not only makes the best of it, he gives his best. He inspires me daily

to be a better person. I met Courtney last year when we went to London

for Blogtour with Modenus. I don’t think I have ever met a nicer guy.

He is the epitome of a true gentleman in my book. Our mutual friends are

always telling him he should give up design and model full time but Courtney

would never do that because he is too buy making lives beautiful for others

to think of himself. Do you have friends like Courtney who inspire you?
