“Good design means bupkis if it ain’t done with a good heart.”
Fortune Favors the Kind™. Walk tall, with kindness as your native language. Build a long table, not a taller fence. Never punch down. Always punch up. Be wary of those selling advice, and hold space for those who offer it earnestly. You inherently are deserving of dignity, and your voice matters. Don’t worry about being liked, worry about doing right by others—and always appeal that others do right by you, too. You’re capable of wonderful, beautiful, fantastic things. So go do ‘em, and know MIDNIGHT UMBRELLA believes in you.
