The trends that surround design and designers is amusing. I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to attend the HOW Design Conference for the past several years and it’s interesting to see the fashion and culture of designers. I know it’s not fair to stereotype anyone, but most young designers look and accessorize in very similar ways. Even if I was 20 years younger, I would still be too much of an introvert to express myself in such ways. I don’t know that I fit any of these profiles other than maybe the messenger bag. I would most likely never be profiled as a creative. An uptight tourist maybe, but not a designer. Nope, I’m about as unassuming as vanilla ice cream.
