I love it when people find a way to combine their passions. A fascinating thing tends to happen—they produce work far better than anything they’ve done before. That’s the case with my friend, Jennifer Idol. Jennifer and I have known each other for years. We are both professional designers. We both have given years of volunteer work to AIGA and we have served as President of the Austin Chapter.

This past year and a half, Jennifer has focused all of her free time on a project she calls The Underwater Designer. She organizes weekend dive trips within driving distance from Austin. What is interesting about these trips (beyond the fact that they look like a lot of fun) is seeing her develop as a photographer. The imagery continues to get better. She’s developing a visual style, and giving us access to a world that most people will never see. Enjoy.
