Invest in Design

No this is not a financial investment, this is a human investment. Ask yourself when was the last time you aided the growth of those around you?

Maybe it is my passion for teaching and encouraging those new school designers to follow their passion? Maybe it is a way for me to live vicariously through a younger generation? Maybe it is a way for me to bite that new flavor to stay on top of my game? Maybe (and this is what I hope it to truly be) I am doing for someone, what one man did for me?

What is it that I’m doing? Passing on knowledge. Passing on enthusiasm. Passing on the “can do” attitude that everyone (especially creatives) needs to pursue their passion in spite of the world around them not understanding their drive.

So on the eve of Valentines Day, I found myself sharing the love with a young designer who, like me, needs someone to understand him. So in my understanding he inherited a computer with all the fixins’. Now my love is made tangible, my giving has real value, my focus is on helping others, and not only helping myself.

In a sense I turned my passion for design into a love movement. A movement that caused me to love someone else's dreams, and do my part in making them a reality.
