  • Trying to Make a Happy Place

    2009 - 09.24

    I’m a chronically unhappy person to the point of being somewhat cheery about it. And, to some degree, I think that’s because the little spark of optimism that I have keeps hoping for the world to get better.

    It’s a very silly thing when I describe what I want to do for the rest of my life: I want to make toys that help people. But I really want to create devices that are entertaining to use while serving a practical benefit. I firmly believe that designs work best if the widest range of backgrounds and implementations are considered. And I mean wide:

    • economic backgrounds
    • cultural heritages
    • education level
    • experience
    • age
    • gender
    • disability
    • ethnicity

    And I do care about practicality. I want to create things with some purpose so that they have a use beyond temporary amusement.

    I’m going to change the world. And I’m going to make sure that others have just as much fun while I’m doing it.
