Really great conversation with designer, Gabriel Mathews of Con Cor Design, about staying creative while there’s a life-threatening disease just outside your window, leaning into healthy catharsis, and finding ways to stay engaged with clients between projects.
Particularly helpful was his perspective on not just thinking outside the box (since we’re literally trapped in one as we shelter in place), but seeing it as a fish tank or some other vessel in order to spark ideas from new angles. He recommends putting yourself in the shoes of a banker or a bookstore or any business other than your own, and imagine your situation from a completely different view to inspire new ideas and fresh approaches.
