I’m excited that Andre Dao is blogging at A Portrait of the Peach as a Young Lawyer.

I have known Andre since we employed him as the Voiceworks Production Intern at Express Media. He helped me produce a production manual for future Voiceworks editors – actually, I helped him, as he did most of the leg work.

He is an absolute gun. Since then, Andre has joined the Voiceworks Editorial Committee as Columns Editor, taken over the reins of Right Now, a human rights journal, helps to run Spill Collective and their beyond-epic warehouse parties and squeeze in a wee Arts/Law degree.

He’s the sort of guy who reapplies for internships two years after he was unsuccessful, gets the gig and then proceeds to demonstrate why you should have employed him way back then.

His musings on A Portrait are lyrical and expansive, about everything from a hat that’s not his girlfriend’s to the communal ruse of warehouse parties and some mythbusting on behalf of the yoof.

A very cool and inspiring guy – one of his own Remarkable People – check him out.
