Welcome to Issue 175

One month ago, I quit my longest-standing job and embarked on a pathless path to let my creativity wander. I thought I'd be lazing around, but instead, I've been the most productive I've been in the past couple of years.

"How's your break going?" has been the most common question from my friends over the past month. So, I wrote down this reflective summary.

Life has mostly been great except for a few visits to the doctor for my eye condition. I’ll leave you with this short recap reel. Talk soon :)

But it’s also giving us leverage – if we’re willing to dig deeper. As a designer, I’ve spent years waiting on engineers to bring ideas to life.
