PLEASE NOTE: Egotistical prima donnas, tortured artist cry babies and self-absorbed, self-promoting ad types need not apply.

Cool Client Product: Mindspace client PremierGarage debuted a new line of highly stylish and contemporary new cabinets at Barrett-Jackson this week.

Mindspace also developed a new logo and unique branding for the program.
