Hey! I Also Write About Music
Just thought you might want to know
Thanks for being here.
Design has been a core part of my identity for a long time, and I feel I’ve been a reflective practitioner for many of those years. However, writing about design has forced me to get more serious about that reflection. I've been surprised by how difficult it can be to articulate and organize the ideas that have been bouncing around in my head for so long. Thank you for subscribing—it means a lot to have an audience. I hope you're finding something useful or thought-provoking here.
I recently realized that not everyone who subscribes to this newsletter knows that I also have another newsletter where I write about music—another important part of me.
It’s called My Ears Ring and I Can’t Sleep—and it has stories about chasing bands, seeing shows, and trying to start and run my own band when I am far too old for such things.
You can subscribe here. Hope to see you there!
