It’s always kind of weird being awake at the exact moment your breath turns to morning breath. Since final boards were due, most of us were still in the exact place D’Wayne left us last night when he walked in this morning, still hunched over our renderings.
Despite not having slept, we still ate up the words of our varied guests. At Pensole, you never know when a thirty-year footwear design veteran will walk in next to the current Adidas design recruiter. The time people have been pouring out to see us achieve our dreams is unbelievable. It really does take a village, be thankful for the people building you up.
Celebrated the sun coming through the studio windows with some hand rendering this morning. Another guest got us hooked on the making paper shoes. E. Scott has been making the little models for several years and found that the miniature shoes help him think through his entire design before it’s on paper. My first attempt at a paper shoe. Can’t wait to start implementing it into my own process.Last week! Talk soon!
