Sound design is design.

“Every project, at the beginning, is quite naive, a better way of describing them might be as delusionally optimistic.“ grand designs

The work is important.

leadership - about making others better.
anything about *you* is not leading.
everythign about others is leading.

you dont get better by lifting the same number of weights the same number of times every day - too comfy - try something that feels risky - try something you feel incompenant at.

I had a fantastic weekend in Copenhagen - such a lovely city! I was so lucky to attend the seminar "Creative Perspectives in Game Audio". Something I really liked was the focus on the "why" behind the craft, rather than just the "how." It was truly inspiring :)
