Often, I feel alone like this guy.

I’ve asked myself this question more times than I can count. What does it really mean to be a designer? Is it about satisfaction? About money? Prestige? Or is it just one of those things people fall into because it’s trendy or in demand? I don’t know the answer. Not in a way that feels final, anyway. But I do know how I ended up here, and maybe that says something.

I made a piece of video on it. Enjoy.
