At Blasé we believe we believe emerging technology has the potential to reach audiences in ways that have not been explored. But to do that we need to bridge the gap between humans and technology. Creating powerful engagement requires thinking about the user each step of the way.

We offer full-suite desktop, responsive, and app design, as well as development services. Our process runs the gamut start to finish: from content strategy, through experience and user face design, and into development.

Our approach is far from typical, but at the end of the day we love to build great products that people love.

When you understand the blockchain and grasp the enormous potential that it possesses, an obvious opportunity presents itself.  Marrying top brands in the entertainment industry with this powerful new technology is somewhat similar to owning a domain name in the early days of the internet.  When the web was just taking off, domain names presented entertainers with the ability to harness the information flow surrounding their brand.  Digital currency will prove to trump the value of the internet for brands as the protocol offers a completely new way to monetize their time in the spotlight. This is what birthed the idea of the alt-coin, Kim Coindashian.

The success of the company was short lived as we received a cease and desist letter that forced us to shut down before we wanted to for fear of legal repercussions.

BU EMS is a service offered by Boston University for the fitness and recreation center, athletic events, concerts and any other events held by the university. My duty was to be an on hand emergency medical technician in the event of any unforeseen unfortunate events. The roles and responsibilities were no different than that of any EMT. Also, I was an instructor for teaching the lab portion of classes which entailed going over different scenarios as well as teaching the practical techniques to students (CPR, splinting and spinal immobilization skills, patient assessment, vital signs, trauma management, medical management and airway management). I learned to be more comfortable in a clinical setting, and as opposed to observing, I was also able to put the skills and knowledge I had amassed into practice. With each new patient I was able to further solidify what I had been taught. Laboratory instruction was good because I was able to continuously brush up on skills that can be easy to forget, and learned to be more comfortable in a setting where the focus of attention was myself.
