Comments on: My How Conference Experience http://fullbleed.adcmw.org/articles/my-how-conference-experience/#utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=my-how-conference-experience A web magazine published by Art Directors Club of Metropolitan Washington Wed, 18 Aug 2010 14:12:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Matthew Billingsley http://fullbleed.adcmw.org/articles/my-how-conference-experience/comment-page-1/#comment-465 Matthew Billingsley Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:40:39 +0000 http://fullbleed.adcmw.org/?p=1237#comment-465 I hope they didn't make you jump through too many hoops. ;) I loved the recap on Marc English's presentation especially. After a hectic 2 years personally and professionally I decided to rebalance some things. I decided to change my location and work remotely for a month in a vacation setting. It's been great to have a change of pace. I willingly spent my 20's focused on pleasing clients no matter what it cost me... Weekends, family visits, whatever. I don't regret any of it. It made me a better designer; but it also made me realize how important work/life balance is. I hope they didn’t make you jump through too many hoops. ;)

I hope you all got to see what I was talking about first hand at last night's AIGA event with Michael Osborne. It was the exact presentation I saw in June and I was just invigorated all over again. One of my favorite take-aways from our conversation at the bar after last night's event is from when I asked Michael if he ever just shit out design because of time. He responded "Life's too short — we only get to do this once." Love him. Thanks everyone!

I remember following your tweets while you were there and found myself looking forward to the updates. I was lucky enough to get work to pay for my trip to the HOW Conference when it was in Atlanta 3 years ago. It was my first and only time but you've inspired me to start working on my current employer now for next year. I so want to go back. Thanks for a great recap, Katie!

But after reading this, I kinda feel like I was. Thanks for bringing us along. :o) Katie, I’m so jealous you go to go to HOW and even more upset I couldn’t be there with you.
