A Brand Origin Story: Urban Decay's History

Hello everyone!

As promised- more research based content!

I thought it was only appropriate to tackle Urban Decay for my first brand origin story. Let me know if you'd like to see more like this and for what brands!

I did have a script for this to make it easier on me, so I'd say it's one part podcast. But I did try to include as many interesting and relevant images as possible. The research is my favourite part, but my presentation skills are lacking. And I'm dealing with a dying computer as well, so just thought I'd note that.
