Ode to HTML entities and outside interests

Creativity outside the digital product realm and paying homage to my first introduction to HTML entities aka your text versions of emojis. Infinity and beyond...

🌿 Spec+Side? Passion Projects? What do you mean?

<aside> ✅ “Speculative design gives designers an opportunity to stretch their imaginations and develop new and boundary-pushing systems and prototypes for the future.”

</aside>

See InVision article.

Note: Speculative projects can be called concept projects too.

<aside> ✅ Sides = Side projects are projects I do outside of paid work.

</aside>

<aside> ✅ Passion projects = Similar to side projects but I build models. I love to flex my coding skills.
