@BobLonsberry Thanks for the shoutout Bob! I admit I’m not on here much these days but glad to know you’re a huge fan of us and our work as performers and business owners in the city 💖

Yea we have a few dogs already, but this is the newest one, Sweetie! We just rescued her this past spring from Puerto Rico! Curious to see how her first Rochester winter will go after 5 years of the island life 🏝 🇵🇷 #petsofclarity #Clarity2021

This ancient design book from 2010 was a monitor stand for a few years 😂. Unfortunately all my good design books are at home and not in the studio so this will have to do! #Clarity2021

[Mikey VR 🏳️‍🌈🇵🇷 @MikeyRodriguez]

If your desk is not an absolute disaster, are you really a designer? 😂 Loving #Clarity2021 so far!

[Mikey VR 🏳️‍🌈🇵🇷 @MikeyRodriguez]

@lindsdee @KROmphroy I miss Lindsay's big/medium ideas! 🤗

Guilty. Finally. The week of my birthday tends to be a week of national tragedies. Thankful that it was one of justice this year. Much work to do to change the system, but at least it's a step forward.

Thirty-four. Officially outlived Jesus. Amen. 🙏🏽 🎉

[Mikey VR 🏳️‍🌈🇵🇷 @MikeyRodriguez]

Hooray! 👏🏽 Well it only took like 5 years to finally put some grass down! Unfortunately after this exact moment, I will no longer have VIP bathroom privileges with @DandC building access 🤣😂 #parcel5 #explorerochester #thisisroc

[CITY @roccitymag]

Free Parcel 5 advocates can, for now, rejoice: Parcel 5, the barren acre lot on East Main Street, will become a public green space. The city, however, is still seeking a developer to build on the plot.
