A long while since writing, here's an update.
A hiatus from writing was synonymous with overworking; this is perhaps a warning to designers and other creatives to take some time to decompress, journal your thoughts, and work thoroughly on body, mind, and soul.
I will include entries retrospectively, but a lot of traveling happened! I had the wonderful opportunity to visit familiar faces, new friends, and to document my travels with a nifty little camera I found with my partner in Barcelona months ago. It was an exercise in restraint and thoughtfulness using the damn thing; so used to digital visual documentation, it was a beautifully challenging shift in mindset to think before taking that snapshot, with each roll being precious and the reveal of developed memories so much sweeter.
Next few entries will be about travel; I will revert back to design in the entries that follow that, perhaps because there's so much more to cover in those topics (plus, travel pictures)! They won't be strictly about design principles, but rather about the logistics and management of designers, one's own work, clients, etc.
Regards,
Alisa
