It would be sensationalist of me to say “this is the biggest mistake most people make” but it wouldn’t be far from the truth. It’s also one of the most common things I see when I review quotes by other folks in our industry just starting out. Once you have an amazing portfolio and a…
Every few years I have small revelations and learn new things. The first few years of my career were all about technical revelations, learning programming and procedural workflows. The few years after that were learning the business ropes and how to negotiate rates and deal with contracts. The last few years of my career have…

So far if you’ve been following the series, we covered an approach to thinking about your projects as systems instead of linear experiences and then we covered how to dive deeper in and start examining and thinking deeply about the signals in your project. For the final part of this series, I’m going to show…
Coming off of my post last week about starting to think about projects as systems instead of linear timelines, it’s time to dive deeper and talk about the signals side of things. If you start thinking about your projects and installations as complex systems and lay out all the dependencies and interlinked elements, you may…
