One time when I was in LA, I drove out to my old art school. It was a Saturday, so there was almost nobody around. I stopped in the art supplies store and bought some of my favorite items: some tape rolls that we used draw with, some notebooks, and my favorite pens. I began wondering how it was that I came to do this work, and how I got through it the early phase of my career. I had these tools, I’d learned a lot, and I had some vision about products. But I didn’t yet have the experience needed to fully realize that vision. When you have tools and vision, the central question becomes “Where do you want to go?” Right now, I’m in a pretty silent space, still trying to contemplate this. I strive to be more intuitive, focusing on the present moment – that’s what’s important. When opportunities arrive, I either say no, or I jump in and focus on it.
