May I present to you – Despi Ross
Another installment of the slow moving May I present to you series, my way of highlighting people I admire, such as writers, photographers, travelers, designers and web movers-and-shakers. Despi Ross fits into all of those categories – in addition to another category, best friend.
I’ve had the honor of working with Despi at two places – the Indiana State Museum and the Indianapolis Museum of Art. At the State Museum she was a tour de force. At the IMA she helped push the museum into the digital world with work that resulted in many awards and the plaudits from other museums. Along the way I was there as a colleague and friend. We argued, collaborated, pushed one another, laughed a lot, traveled all over the world, and became a dynamic duo. My career would not be where it is today without her. My life would not be as rich. Despi has become family – not just my friend, but also Lea’s. Oliver even tries to say her name.
That’s one layer. There are many more.
