		<description><![CDATA[It has been a transformation year. I came back to school to polish my knowledge, because I knew that as a practitioner, there were so many gaps in my work. I wanted time to just think and understand, and to get feedback on how I work and what I create. I was working at a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Emotion is fundamental to being human. We can temper our emotions, become friends with them, but we can never escape them. And why would we want to? Emotions and feelings are the delight (and despair) of being human, they are the fuel for creativity in art, science, technology and design. Emotion is what we hope [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First year of grad school is almost over. It has been a busy, crazy time, and I have loved it. I have grown so much this year, and I can&#8217;t even imagine how I will be transformed by my thesis work next year. The last few weeks I have been preoccupied with what my next [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps I am a little late to the table, but I&#8217;m caught in the wave of Draw Something. This infectious game is quickly spreading through the studio, and as you can imagine, the designers are having great fun with it. I think we like to think we are the superior illustrators in this game, but [...]]]></description>

Being creative is a disciplined practice and it requires special care and feeding. Well-designed and well-chosen elements &#8211; space, people, work and spirit &#8211; will amplify the gifts of creative abilities. space Be it real or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are design disciplines converging or diverging? Good question, but on what? I think the fundamental spirit of design has always been the same; designers work to better the human condition and to amplify ability. However, the diversity of the field is expanding as human experience expands. We can see similarities between practice and process — [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We like to think that being a designer is great fun, and most of the time, it is. I really enjoy working with people to solve problems in creative, innovative ways. Sometimes, however, being a designer can be stressful, more stressful than people think. It&#8217;s not all color palettes and pretty pictures, and ironically, it [...]]]></description>

The debate is difficult to follow, and I was grateful to read a transcript. I see the value of both protecting IP in the capitalist market and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Greg Smith is a brave man. It is one thing to leave a company and speak to your close circle of friends about your disenchantment. It is quite another to write an op-ed article for the New York Times. I understand the bitter emotions one can feel when the workplace you once loved turns sour, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I spent four months in the fall of 2011 in Martin Venezky&#8217;s form studio class at CCA. At the beginning of the class I selected two brown paper bags &#8211; one contained 3&#215;5&#8243; index cards, and the other tinfoil cupcake cups. I had to explore form through any media possible &#8211; drawing, photography, sculpture, painting [...]]]></description>
