About Me

Charrette is not my name. In fact, if it were, it sounds like one of those trying-to-be-sophisticated-in-a-Utah-hic-town names. (Definitely not me.) Charrette is more like a state of mind. It's a French design term meaning, in essence, "an intense meeting of the minds". And after all, isn't that what we do here? (Thanks for stopping by, and contributing your ideas. That makes being here all the more worthwhile.)
