What is is about design that stimulates us? As a former architecture student, I can tell you that it's definitely about how it makes us feel. The best architects don't design homes. They create an experience by manipulating light and space. The walls are simply a product of the journey-by-design. In the same way, the experience we create can have a lasting impression on both our professional and personal relationships.

There have been no posts on this blog since November of last year. I was experiencing. I was living. I've made no secret of my intention to not discuss voice-over for voice-over discussion's sake. While I love the field that I work in, most of the discussions around that space don't create much of an experience for me. Instead, I enjoy electronics and how its technology impacts our entertainment. I enjoy entertainment and how its marketing impacts its inherent design (main titles, on-air promos, billboards, etc.) And I enjoy design itself and how the creatives behind it think and, in turn, make me think. Technology and design is what drives my consumption; My purchasing decisions (albeit emotional) revolve around how good those products make me feel (my wife provides the counter-balance or economic justification - in short, she has "veto power.")

So, there you have it. No holier-than-though blog post about how you should focus on the experience you create for your clients and buyers. Just one man's intention to slow down and enjoy those little things created by his fellow, creative, and technical man that bring a smile to his face after plugging them in or opening them up.
