Anything is possible creatively and I try to lead my making process with possibility and practicality rather than with fear. While not every effort will get a reward, every worthy effort should be true.
Depth & Context
Some ideas aren’t actually terrible, they often just need a bit more depth (this can look like visual dimension, deepening insight roots, or immersion) and context (building a nest/family around it, diversifying the scale or prioritization of a product or feature, or further defining its character).
