Before I set out on my own almost five years ago, I sat down and wrote out a list of 11 points. They framed how I was going to pursue my independent design. I shared them last week on a panel discussion. Today I’m adding another, as a shoutout to the strange folks I get to work with often in my day-to-day. They bring me much joy and make it all worth it, especially during tax time.
I want to do work that:
- is part of things,
- experiments,
- delights,
- is optimistic,
- gives a damn,
- is community-minded,
- moves people to action,
- points us in a direction,
- picks a side / annoys certain people,
- makes things better,
- has heart,
- is free to be weird,
