If you're like me (and frankly, you probably are), you're easily overwhelmed by the sheer scope of your ideas. Not so much because they're so grand or world-changing, but because you see all the connections that could be included in your projects. Background information, theory, history, caveats... if you're curious and value context, any project can take on epic proportions.

And that's when you need a short assignment.

Summer Seminar starts July 7

☞ Summer Seminar is back! ☜

Summer Seminar is a very chill reading and online discussion group where there’s no such thing as being behind and no right answers. Think of it as an intellectual choose-your-own-adventure. This year, we’re reading On the Calculation of Volume (I) by Solvej Balle and The Wall by Marlen Haushofer. I loved both of these books, and they’re both full of ideas I haven’t stopped thinking about since I read them. I’m stoked to share them with you.
