Writing
Be present so others can find you
When is the right time to share work? I’ve struggled with this concept in the past, both as a designer and writer. Many blog posts and books have probably been written about this, I am sure. But nothing has resonated with me until I began asking myself: how present am I?
Who am I if I don't write?
I've kept a regular journal since 2001, when I went on an exchange to Germany as a high school student. I still have scraps of paper from as far back as 1994 - when I was ten years old - that tell me about the kind of person I was, what I felt, who I loved, hated, and how I thought about life…
To smile and be bold
Why don't you say something? Why don't you share something? Events in recent weeks has led me back to this blank page, to write about what I know and don't know. An unacknowledged but deeply felt fear that I've had, for not being perfect, for not writing things the right way, for not showing you the most pixel-perfect designs, the fear that I am somehow lesser than what I have in my mind.
