My Glass Is Now Half Full

In a promise to myself (and my prehypertension), I vowed to only make positive posts on my shiny new blog... and it won't be easy (if you know me). This is therapy.

To help remind myself, I pulled up a post about design consulting by Victor Lombardi last year:

"Highlight opportunities instead of bitching. As designers, we walk around in the world and feel overly sensitive to everything that isn’t designed well. We watch customers struggle when using poorly designed products. There’s an inclination to highlight these faults to executives whom we think should know about these faults. And maybe they should, but mostly they need help seeing the big opportunities. It might sound like product faults and market opportunities are simply the flip side of the same coin, but it’s the difference between being perceived as a whiny designer and a valued business advisor."

Amen, brother.
