Developing Usable Experiences

Chewing what you bite off

July 1st, 2008 8:45 am —  74 views

As I wrap up a design project that has taken me that last couple months, I’m considering taking on another. I met with L. and K. over the weekend and have exchanged a few emails about expectations, time frames, deliverables, and the like. It is an interesting project with some fun technical challenges. A proposal hasn’t been inked yet but already my mind is chewing on it.

When I start on something and am seeking a clear direction, my mind chews on it almost constantly. I’ll wake up in the middle of the night, puzzling, shifting, pondering, moving pieces and ideas around in my head waiting to hear the “click” of sense and clarity.

Though I’m referring to my moonlighting projects, my work projects are just as interesting but definitely more challenging in sheer scope, complexity, with challenges of communication and coordination aplenty. My projects at work are too big to accomplish alone and always involve numerous people. Working with people is something I enjoy very much even though it can be particularly challenging.

    They eat it like candy? What…Kit Kats?

    No, but that’s funny.

    Ask me sometime about the peanut-butter bars around Halloween.

    We buy the little containers of wheat grass at Arbor Farms. I think the cats appreciate more during the wintertime. The kittens seem to prefer it when it has dried out a bit, but Thomas loves it fresh. Nom, nom, nom.
