One of my favorite memories was being at the Opening Ceremonies of the 1998 Olympics in Nagano. To remember the day, my partner designed a map with the night sky from that day. This touching reminder of my memorable day is priceless. The trendy design and modern colors also look fantastic with my home office’s decor.
