There are two kinds of designers: ones who are very happy locked in their office surrounded by their coterie. The last thing they need to do is to go to a trunk show they'd go running for the hills. I not only enjoy it I think how do you design things that are applicable to life - unless you live it?
Though we may have desires or bold goals for whatever reason most of us don't think we can achieve something beyond what we're qualified to achieve. Why I ask do we let reality interfere with our dreams?
