I realised a couple of years back that I really didn't want to spend the rest of my life applying the shallow veneer of 'design' to other people's produkt.
That said, in the companies that I started and in the work I've done for others throughout my professional career I've come to appreciate how important this veneer is, so I'll always value it - I just want to wrangle the ability to my own end.
As such, I'm midway through starting something new up, which will hopefully provide an outlet for me to express my own efforts and to work with the people out there who I know (and appreciate) completely outclass me. There's a long game too - to be able to produce real world objects that will be genuinely valued and, over the horizon somewhere, might actually be quite useful and functional.
"Design" is such a broadly-encompassing term - in an ideal sense, it covers all of man's highest achievements. I want to capture some of that sentiment in my life - otherwise, what's the point of it all?
