📢 New post! Rough ideas on starting a new small design practice and doing it in a way that fills me up: https://jasonsantamaria.com/blog/funsizing

Maybe I don’t click with in-house design roles. But, I’m going to start something new that works for me.

@jasonsantamaria This echos a lot of my feeling of working full-time gigs (development-related, though) the last few years. As always, you sharing this kind of thing is an inspiration. Thank you and good luck!

@jasonsantamaria Great blog post!

You vocalized a lot of thoughts that I'm having as well, in regards to my own creative practice vs. working for an employer. Best of luck out there!
