Finished reading “Design for the Real World” by Victor Papanek. For a book 40 years old, it’s mind-blowing how little has changed in the design industry. The same issues have always existed, now taking on other forms. Fantastic read! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Burnout in our field can sneak up on you, especially when you're passionate about your work. I've been there. In my recent email, I share personal lessons on finding balance and why 'caring less' might just be the self-care you need. buff.ly/3vWwlke #Burnout #SelfCare

Questions are places in your mind where answers fit. If you haven't asked the question, the answer has nowhere to go.

Find the ideas that scare you. Invite them over. Give them a try. At a minimum, even if they don’t work, you will be less scared to try them next time. buff.ly/3MYIjPR
