Sleep Genius
The Bed of The Future!
Founded at the beginning of the new millennium, it is only appropriate that Intellibed would become the Bed of the Future.
Intellibed has the most disruptive technology in the bed industry since the invention of memory foam by NASA in the 1960s, which was later used in mattresses starting in 1991.
Intellibed traces its roots to the healthcare industry where Gel Matrix was originally used (and is still used) in hospital beds to help burn and long-term patients reduce pressure on their skin and body.
Bob Rasmussen, engineer, and founder of Intellibed, decided he didn’t want to create another mattress manufacturing company, but create a health and sleep wellness company whose sole mission was to improve the quality of people’s lives by giving them a better and more comfortable night’s sleep.
While Bob was perfecting the therapeutic mattress for consumers, Colin House, a former senior executive at Hewlett Packard, was creating Sleep Genius, an app that focuses on treating sleep problems. With over two million downloads, Sleep Genius was recognized by NASA as one of its very successful spinoff technologies. The result? Colin was recruited to Intellibed as CEO and brought his leadership and high-tech experience with disruptive technology to the company.
The two entrepreneurs combined their passion, expertise, and determination to share the healing benefits of Intellibed’s Gel Matrix. Before long, the industry was abuzz with the news of the world’s first bed that is both firm and soft at the same time. After all, how could one bed deliver maximum back support for spinal alignment as well as deliver maximum pressure point relief to prevent tossing and turning at the same time?
After recruiting top executives from Ernst & Young, Pepsi, Walt Disney, and Mattress Firm, Intellibed has become a leading provider of luxury, true therapeutic beds across North America.
The Intellibed brand collections can now be found at top furniture and retail stores near you.

THE WRAITH KRYPTOS COLLECTION
Rolls Royce
Rolls-Royce Collection Cars are poetic embodiments of artistry and skill, envisioned at the hands of the marque’s accomplished designers. They are illustrative of the Bespoke Collective’s mastery of their craft, and extremely limited in number. Incorporating only the finest materials and contemporary applications, Rolls-Royce Collection Cars are executed with creative passion and technical precision.
Rolls-Royce Collection Cars are poetic embodiments of artistry and skill, envisioned at the hands of the marque’s accomplished designers. They are illustrative of the Bespoke Collective’s mastery of their craft, and extremely limited in number. Incorporating only the finest materials and contemporary applications, Rolls-Royce Collection Cars are executed with creative passion and technical precision. These cars capture clients’ imaginations around the world, joining the chronicles of some of the greatest and most storied Rolls-Royces ever to have been created.
Design is naturally the starting point for these endeavours. For the new Wraith Kryptos Collection, one designer’s passion for cryptography led to Wraith becoming a willing canvas for an intricate and clandestine design. The Wraith Kryptos Collection, which will consist of just 50 motor cars, incorporates a labyrinth of complex ciphers into its beguiling façade.
Rolls-Royce Bespoke Designer, Katrin Lehmann, commented, “The name Kryptos is derived from Ancient Greek, referring to something unseen, hidden and coded, mythical even. Ciphers can be traced through millennia, capturing the imagination of some of the world’s most brilliant minds.
As a designer, I’ve always been fascinated by the notion that you can communicate messages that are understood by only an elite few, using symbols, pictograms, and ciphers. Finding the key becomes integral to appreciating the full meaning of an item that can otherwise be viewed simply as a work of art.”
The Wraith Kryptos Collection carries within it an encrypted cipher that evolves throughout the car for the clients’ pleasure and amusement, leading them on a journey of discovery and intrigue. To the uninitiated, these ciphers appear, on the surface at least, to be an alluring design purely for aesthetic purposes and devoid of any discernible pattern. However, for those that look closer, those few who hold the key, they will embark on an experience that leads to an enlightening conclusion.
Torsten Müller-Ötvös, CEO, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, commented, “The brilliant and creative minds of our Rolls-Royce Bespoke Collective have excelled once again, creating an extraordinarily contemporary and compelling iteration of Wraith. The Wraith Kryptos Collection, on first glance, is a statement of dynamism. On closer examination, a series of messages are hidden behind a unique Rolls-Royce cipher. I look forward to seeing whether any of our clients will crack the code!”
Indeed, the code is so secret that only two people at the Home of Rolls-Royce in Goodwood know the full resolution of the sequence – the designer and the Chief Executive. The answer has been placed in a sealed envelope, in the safe of the Chief Executive Officer, at the Home of Rolls-Royce, in Goodwood, West Sussex. Clients will be invited to submit their efforts at cracking the code via the members only Rolls-Royce Application, Whispers.
The cryptographic journey begins with the Spirit of Ecstasy, which has graced the bonnet of the marque’s motor cars for over a century. An engraving with green enamel detailing introduces the Rolls-Royce cipher on the base of the enigmatic figurine. Below, recrafted bumper inserts draw the eye lower, subtly modifying both the gesture and posture of Wraith, giving this Collection an identity of its own.
The alluring colourway of the Collection hints at the car’s inner-most secrets. Delphic Grey, a Bespoke exterior hue consisting of a solid Anthracite base colour has a hidden effect – only in sunlight do the blue and green mica flakes appear. This effect is accentuated by a hand-painted double coachline, the upper being painted in the newly developed Kryptos Green while the lower acts as a shadow in Dark Grey, both depicting clues relating to the interior code. Completing the exterior aesthetic are part polished wheels, with Orbit Grey coloured centres featuring a coloured pinstripe.
Inside, stepping over the illuminated treadplates, the cipher evolves deep into the fabric of the motor car. One is immediately greeted by the accented Bespoke Kryptos Green leather hue, which has been developed to incorporate a metallic effect, set against either Selby Grey or Anthracite. In perhaps the most apparent clue, elements of the cipher are embroidered into Wraith’s headrests, where the customary ‘double-R’ emblem can so often be found. For the driver’s enjoyment, an intriguing screen print flows across the metal fascia, spanning the width of the interior.
Enrapturing Wraith’s occupants with light, Wraith Kryptos Collection features a beautifully elaborate, bi-coloured headliner depicting an in-motion data-stream inspired motif. Illuminated door pockets continue this theme with Rolls-Royce woven leather and Kryptos Green threads to reveal an unexpected and subtle illumination that fades towards the base of the pocket. The centre tunnel is exquisitely stitched, repeating the horizontal lines of the door pockets, also hinting towards the driver focused nature of this special motor car.
Rolls-Royce is delighted to unveil this new generation of Collection Car; one that brings with it an intriguing and entertaining challenge, that will be sure to delight. Who will crack the code? And what answers will the code bring? Only time will tell. Or will it?

Danica Rosé Wine
Premium French Rosé Wine
Danica Patrick, world-renowned retired race car driver and entrepreneur, has announced her new Danica Rosé Wine from Provence, France. Patrick has teamed up with Nechio Novak private equity group on the product, which is composed of former Budweiser executive Rick Nechio and successful multi-business owner and entrepreneur Damian Novak.
Danica selected Provence because it is the oldest winemaking region in France, where rosé is a specialty and a long-standing way of life. The region is perfectly suited to make rose thanks to the climate, terroir and grape varietals perfectly suited for rosé wine. For this release, Danica collaborated with the Margnat family, whose wine making traditions dates back to 1895 and spans four generations.
Danica Rosé wine comes in an elegant custom glass bottle that pays homage to the blends’ French origin. Danica Rosé is now available online and at select retailers in California, Florida, and New York. The brand is slated to expand into retail stores nationwide in 2021.
Danica Patrick’s path to appreciating wine came from her racing days in England, where she discovered her love of wine. As her world travels took her to Asia, Australia, Europe, New Zealand and South Africa, her passion for wine led her to purchase a vineyard in Napa Valley and started her own wine brand, Somnium. Danica Rosé is just the latest expression of this passion. “My appreciation for wine and the winemaking process has grown tremendously over the past 15 years. The Danica Rosé is the type of French rosé that I enjoy drinking year-round, it is crisp and light with well-balanced acidity.”
To launch her new wine, Danica Patrick has partnered with Omaze for a national, online campaign beginning on June 30th, that supports Folds of Honor, a non-profit organization providing educational scholarships to the children and spouses of our fallen and disabled service members.

Johanna Sanchez-Tebong
The Jewel of Soccer!
Born & raised in Houston by Mexican parents. Johanna grew up playing, watching and thinking about soccer all the time. She remembers at such an early age attending her Dad's Sunday soccer games and standing next to him as they held their winning trophy each season. Soccer, in Latin countries (and most parts of the world), is the main sport of their country. Johanna would play every day whether it be in the street, pick up games, or juggling the ball by herself.
Playing club soccer and Varsity for 4 years in high school, Johanna was determined to play professionally. As a first-generation college student, she knew that obtaining her Bachelor's was #1 on her list... and she could play soccer while doing so. She was invited to a Senior showcase at Georgetown University with 40 top Seniors in South Texas. However, didn't obtain a soccer scholarship, only academics. She did 2 years of community college and founded the first Women's soccer team at Lone Star College. She relationships she created there because of soccer she still maintains to this day. A former professional player from Bolivia approached her and asked if she had ever coached before. Johanna attended LSCM as a full-time student, played on the women's team she created, worked part-time at a bank, and coached on the weekends.
Once she got to SHSU she figured she'd walk on the team... she attended practices with the team and had a good feeling about making the team. Unfortunately, the Coach had another vision and her dreams were crushed. She figured her soccer dreams were over... if she couldn't play in college, she couldn't play pro, she would never play again. Instead of feeling defeated she applied to work for the HOUSTON DYNAMO, the first Major League Soccer team in Houston. She was hired right on as part of the Grassroots Marketing team. She was also the youngest USSF certified coach and had the opportunity to coach camps/clinics all throughout Houston. Johanna learned a lot about the components of putting a professional soccer game together - from media, travel, sports reporters, a fan’s experience etc.
After graduating from college in 2011, she made a huge change and moved to Dallas. Johanna was scared, excited, eager for change... she'd have to find a whole new circle of soccer friends. The best place to do that was... with FC Dallas - Major League Soccer. She was chosen out of 300 other candidates for the Youth Operations Coordinator position, yes, she also coached camps/clinics for them. She decided to pursue the USSF National D license (this certified her to coach in any high school/college in the nation). In her quest to work for a soccer club in DFW she quickly realized that many clubs were seeking a certified female soccer coach. After working for FC Dallas, Dallas Rush, she made the bold move to create her own soccer business.
In 2014 Skills4Soccer was born and Johanna had seasonal programs in Highland Park, did birthday party soccer sessions, and private sessions. S4S continued for nearly 2 years and in early 2016 decided to step away from coaching as her first child was to be born in the Summer. As a first-time Mom and not having any family in DFW she stepped away from coaching to work her full-time job as a Manager at LA Fitness + care for her child.
Over the years she had coached hundreds of kids throughout the DFW and Houston area of all races, ages, backgrounds - her biggest joy was being able to provide POSITIVE feedback to them. Watching them develop practice after practice and instill confidence -while enjoying the game.
Johanna missed coaching/soccer but was given the opportunity to work for Hawkeye performing VAR for MLS matches. Video Assistant Referee is the main video official whose main role is to check reviewable incidents and recommend an Official referee where a possible clear and obvious error has occurred. She was back on the field and enjoyed watching the professional games and listening to the referees during the match.
Johanna returned to coaching in 2019 with Soccer Shots. Her son was nearly 3 and it was perfect timing. She had the opportunity to coach his first soccer session. Soccer is a beautiful sport and many attributes can be learned from it such as teamwork, practice, setting goals, perseverance, healthy competition, fitness, and much more. Johanna posts soccer-related fitness videos on her Instagram for those who are experienced, never played, want to try something different. She's now a #player for Sphere based out of Houston, Coach for Soccer Shots, and Business Developer for Big Hit Creative.

STYLEFIRM LOS ANGELES
The Little Black Dress of Activewear ™
Style Firm Los Angeles was created by business partners Marissa Mills and Lisa Present, who own a successful event production company (called Style Firm LLC) in Los Angeles. The inspiration behind Style Firm Los Angeles was a two-part process.
Inspiration, Part One: as stylists and fashion show producers, Marissa and Lisa noticed, over time, that the celebrities and models with whom they worked closely together were beyond impassioned, perhaps even addicted, to their compression garments to smooth lumps and bumps. (Yes, even celebs and models have them!) They became an essential part of the stylists’ behind-the-scenes bag of tricks.
Inspiration, Part Two: to keep up with the physical demands of executing large-scale events and designer runway shows, Marissa and Lisa hit the gym on a regular basis. Having a keen eye for style, the ladies noticed that no matter how fit and fabulous the woman, her workout attire didn’t necessarily do her body justice.
Marrying this observation with their experiences in the styling arena, Style Firm Los Angeles was born. Marissa and Lisa wanted to create a fitness line for the Everywoman. The original objective was to create a pant that was stylish, that felt good, and that looked good on the body, on every body. The design also had to be street-wearable.
The ladies were determined to create “a magic pant,” as nicknamed by our head designer -- a pant that would slim the thighs, lift the butt, and flatten the tummy, while still being comfortable, true performance wear. They worked with a team of designers and experts to fuse the perfect fabrication with the perfect cut. One pair of pants grew into a capsule collection of five pieces: a bootleg pant, a capri legging, a running tight, and two jackets.
Marissa and Lisa wracked their brains to coin a name for their line of active wear - they had to look no further than the sign on their office door: STYLE FIRM. The name of their event production company served as perfect inspiration for their objective: to create a workout wardrobe that was stylish and flattering. And thus began Style Firm Los Angeles.
Style Firm Los Angeles was created with the busy professional or mom on-the-go in mind. This collection will allow you to kick off the tennis shoes post-workout, throw on a pair of ballet flats, and continue on with life’s daily demands, without sacrificing style for convenience. Style Firm Los Angeles – for women, by women.

Sheyi N Alabi
Master Illustrator
Oluwaseyi Nurudeen Alabi, born in Lagos, 1986. I am a self thought artist who uses his art to promote African heritage, culture and tradition. I started drawing at the age of six (6)
Growing up I have always been fascinated by the simplicity of a pencil. It is one of the most basic of tools, and yet it can be used to create images of great complexity and depth.
Art started for me out of curiosity. I didn't grow up to know who my mother was, as a matter of fact, I didnt know who my mother was until I turned sixteen (16)
Prior to the loss of my mother, I have always imagined who she was and how she looked since I had no picture of her.
I started doing sketches of what my mother looked like based on what people(family and neighbors) around told me about her looks, “she was a beautiful woman” so they said.
Sheyi Alabi's artworks are inspired by the lost narratives of the old, their innocence, their child-presence fused with African heritage, culture, and tradition. His skill is evident in his ability to effortlessly portray African children, all powerful and visibly present, with a genre of art that is painstakingly detailed and time conscious, called” HYPERREALISM” Africanism central to the Artist's oeuvre, Sheyi Alabi has succeeded in not only portraying the young as older generations, but also a showcase of the beauty hidden in Africanism.
