Last winter I received a call from my friend, Alina Roytberg (who also happens to be the co-founder of Fresh, Inc). Fresh was turning 21 this year and she thought it was the perfect opportunity for us to collaborate on a project. I love Alina and I love Fresh so I was inwardly doing cartwheels across the room, out the door & down the street.
I flew to New York where I met with the Fresh team and got my assignment. "It all began with soap" - they told me. So they asked me to do illustrations to capture the story and essence of 3 of their most iconic oval soaps: Sugar, Hesperides Grapefruit & Patchouli.
I returned to LA, got out my scissors, glue and colored paper, and got to work. The images just flowed out of me - and the result was pure joy.

Flash forward to August. I was lying on my couch casually flipping through the gargantuan September issue of Vogue magazine. Turning to page 712, I nearly fell onto the floor. THERE THEY WERE - in all their glory! I instantly envisioned Gwyneth Paltrow, Tom Ford and countless others turning to page 712 in their September issues as well and picking up the phone to call me (no calls from them yet).

Last week I found myself in New York again - this time in Fresh's inspiring flagship Union Square store - to celebrate Fashion's Night Out with co-founder, Lev Glazman (the man responsible for their amazing fragrances). They had set up a mini R. Nichols studio where I created original artwork for Fresh's VIP customers. It was also the official launch of the "Fresh Turns 21" oval soap collection and a cool custom set of stationery which I also designed for them.

The "Fresh Turns 21" soaps and stationery are now available in all of their stores as well as on their web site (for a limited time only).

In early 2026, after my business experienced significant financial setbacks linked to ongoing global economic challenges, I began exploring alternative investment opportunities, including forex and binary options trading, in an effort to rebuild my finances. What I believed was a legitimate opportunity ultimately turned out to be a sophisticated scam, resulting in the loss of 19.28 BTC.
The financial impact was devastating, but the emotional consequences were even more difficult to process.
Unfortunately, my situation is not unique. Crypto-related fraud continues to affect investors across Canada and around the world, with millions of dollars reportedly lost each year to fraudulent investment schemes, fake trading platforms, and other digital asset scams.
After seeking legal advice regarding my options, I was referred to a digital asset recovery specialist Morphohack Cyber Services. Following a review of my case and an investigation into the transactions involved, efforts were undertaken to trace and pursue recovery of the missing funds. Through their expertise in blockchain analysis and cryptocurrency investigations, they were able to recover completely 18.5 BTC which was a huge boost for me.

A year ago, I experienced one of the most devastating financial losses of my life. What started as a promising cryptocurrency investment opportunity quickly turned into a nightmare that cost me over $180,000. Like many people, I was looking for ways to grow my savings and secure a better future for my family. I came across what appeared to be a legitimate investment platform. The website looked professional, the customer support team was responsive, and the returns they showed seemed realistic enough to earn my trust. Over several months, I invested more and more money, believing I was making a smart financial decision. Everything seemed fine until I tried to withdraw my funds. Suddenly, there were unexpected fees, account verification charges, and endless excuses. Every time I paid one fee, another appeared. Eventually, communication stopped altogether. That’s when the painful truth hit me I had been scammed. The emotional toll was even worse than the financial loss. I couldn’t sleep at night. I felt embarrassed, ashamed, and angry with myself for falling victim to such a scheme. The $80,000 I had lost represented years of hard work, sacrifice, and savings. Telling my family what had happened was one of the hardest conversations I’ve ever had. For months, I thought the money was gone forever. However, I refused to give up. I gathered every piece of evidence I had, including transaction records, emails, wallet addresses, and screenshots. After a long and stressful process involving professional assistance and extensive investigation, I was finally able to recover my lost funds. The day I received confirmation that my money had been recovered was overwhelming. I felt relief, gratitude, and a renewed sense of hope. While the experience was painful, it taught me valuable lessons about online investments, due diligence, and never trusting opportunities that seem too good to be true. Today, I’m sharing my story so others can learn from my experience and avoid becoming victims of similar scams.
