Did you enjoy the last 3 hours of your life?

This is a question I started asking myself a few years ago and it is what brought about a shift in perspective. I’m not sure where I heard the question asked, but it radiated with me nonetheless. First, I looked where I spent the most time…at work. I started looking…

Yes, and…Change the world

Have you ever been in a conversation and someone interrupts you and says, “yes, but”? This may automatically turn you off to what they have to say because it may be taken as a negation of your previous statement. In improv comedy, an actor is not allowed to say no…

Don’t believe the hype — Why you need to question everything!

As designers, we are problem solvers. We must constantly observe, assess, and question how we can make things better in this world. Often problem solving involves doing research and testing. It is great to look at research and see previous patterns of behavior but those thing often times do not provide you with the information we need in order to solve the problem at hand.

Returning to Nature

Bare feet on Kentucky Grass is one of the ways I get back to nature in the midst of the concrete jungle I live in. Yes, you can find Kentucky Grass in NYC if you look! The feeling I get when I put my bare feet in the grass is a feeling that words cannot describe. I could say it feels nice but that’s an understatement. When we get back to nature I feel we get back to our true selves. Not the people others want us to be, not the ones we imagined ourselves to be, just us, the perfect beings that we are. It’s the thinking that we humans do that makes the world an imperfect place. Nature is our equalizer.
