10 things that make me happy

In this playful exercise I have been asked to summarize the things that make me happy. I suppose as a designer, the closer I can get to understanding what makes me happy, the better equipped I will be to make others feel the same.

10 things that make me happy:

1. Walking my dog after a snow storm

2. Admiring a finished design

3. the (rare) courtesy of others

4. Mike Patton

5. Science fiction and forward thinking

6. a peaceful, quiet, and uninterrupted chance to develop a concept

7. Down time for personal development (of which I have none)

8. Reacquainting myself with old friends

9. A full bodied red with a smooth yet slightly spicy finish

10. The love of a truly passionate and driven woman
