Someone once belittled me at a party when I handed over a business card that listed the three types of freelance work I did (all related). This post made me finally realize how silly that guy was.

I admire a focused generalist mindset and think of myself as a kind of fluid amateur. I prefer amorphous titles like artist and designer because they don’t really have fixed meaning. Within those words is a vast landscape of thinking and doing.
