We are co-creators, shaping ourselves,
each other, and our environment.

The Perfect Fit

Much can be said about the perfect fit. Elusive at times, but once found, so comforting, whole, real. And in the world of design, we can provide that feeling to people. It may be the perfect t-shirt, saying, or blend of colors. I think it's important to provide the one, while pointing to the other. Pointing to a richer experience. Underlying our need for the next something that rings our bell, is the need for a connection to life that is authentic.

This dynamic has slowed me down significantly. Instead of a quick reveal of the Wow-ness of what I have to offer artistically, is the need to have a system that connects the dots for people. I do not want to strengthen the divide between creative art appreciators, and those who call themselves "uncreative" and veer away from art.

Creativity is a gift in which all humans specialize. It reveals itself in many ways, but the point is, we can envision and build something unique that never before existed. How empowering and important is that for us all to own?

And so the system that connects the dots -- Strangeness draws interest (fine art, see Saatchi) > interactivity draws curiosity (creative workspace, see Etsy) > sharing dreams helps them come true (inspirational t-shirts, see Zazzle).
