    Making Without an Outcome

    Hi everybody, and welcome back to the Let's Talk Project podcast. I wasn't expecting to record another episode about my mental health quite this quickly.

    Why Are We Making Work?

    I recently bottom out on my current body of work… I’ve been thinking a lot recently about why we make work in the first place. Not professionally. Personally. Because I think a lot of people arrive at creativity through very different routes.
