Opening the door

For a long time now I have been struggling with creative energy. Not the lack of it but the mishandling of it. After a long stint as a corporate designer, I found myself unfulfilled with where my effort went. Was there a paycheck? Of course. Were there tangible objects after all the research, sketches, meetings, 3D modeling, presentations, and manufacturing? More than anyone knew what to do with. Maybe that ultimately was the problem. Too many objects, not enough connection. Too many decisions made with shareholders in mind and not on who was actually using the product. Too much consumed to put out the next “best” thing, hot on the heels of the previous “best” thing. So in an effort to reclaim my creative energy I’m taking a leap.
