Design Work Life: Cataloging Inspiration Daily

I don’t know about you, but for me the new year means tak­ing a fresh look at my busi­ness, assess­ing what’s work­ing and what needs to change, and deter­min­ing goals for the com­ing year. I wouldn’t say I par­tic­u­larly enjoy the busi­ness side of run­ning a design stu­dio, but it’s an area where I am always try­ing to improve my skills so that I can run things around here more smoothly. If you’re in the same boat, these classes might lend you a hand.
