I’ve been quite lucky. I’ve never sought freelance design gigs. They seem to come my way. But, I only accept them with a few conditions – be flexible, be a partner in the process, and have fun. These are simple conditions, but important ones. Flexibility, because I can’t devote all my time to creative projects. I have a career, a family, and many other things grabbing for my time. Instead, I have to fit it in as I can. I also need a creative partner to bounce ideas around with; to share ideas; and to help deal with the many details of a creative project. Finally, it has to be be fun. I love to design. It’s fun creating new experiences and new ways of engaging. The Bla Bla Foods project was all of that and more. A sweet, creative project that we created together while dealing with our busy, daily lives. And, we had a lot of fun.
