The tour to EQ3 was a nice change from being in school! I was excited to get a glimpse of the design world. I thought the presentation they gave at the beginning was interesting, and made me feel better about all the cardboard I so painstakingly cut: maybe one day I'll actually have to do it again. It would be really great to see your designs on the floor at the store, it is definitely a dream for me. I did feel as though the lifestyle did not seem as exciting as I imagined. I think that this feeling I had only reinforces the stress they put on the feasibility of your designs in the presentation. Do not fall in love with what you are creating! Inevitably changes will need to be made to get to the point of production, and that is reality. I think you get into design with a dream in your mind, and then the world kicks in and wakes you up. I think that that was the most important thing that I got out of the experience. I was disappointed however that such a new company was still so far behind in sustainability. It is these fresh young organizations that have the greatest power to make the right decisions from the get-go. I enjoyed the tour, and absolutely felt it was beneficial, but it did not leave me feeling as though I'll been knocking on their door in 5 years!
