Runway Girl: Seaplanes, St Croix and hot sauce! from Not Bad Design on Vimeo.

Last week Mary traveled to St. Croix to do a feature article on Seaborne Airlines and their clever hot sauce promotion. Unfortunately her camera guy was too large to check as carry-on, so she shot the whole thing solo. Nice job, Mary!
