Pudong
(taken from Wikipedia)
So I’ve touched down in Shanghai China, I’m staying in the city of PuDong it is on the east side of Huangpu River. Its a cool city from as little as i’ve seen. I can’t wait to explore it after work. During the daytime I spend most of my time at the factories that are building our designs. Its such a rewarding experience and I think everyone has to experience traveling over seas to see your design be made. I will keep everyone posted about my trip when i get back. I’m taking lots of photos.
power of habit
So i’ve been briefly reading this book and started searching up videos on youtube. Like most of us we all have distinct habits that we may have to battle to kick. This book is about the power in changing your habits. This book can be abstractly taken and applied to design thinking in ways to promoting new ways to innovate. Check “The Power of Habit” By Charles Duhigg.

I’ve had this idea in the back of my mind for about a week or so. Sketched a few napkin sketches but never really got serious. Today made some free time to CAD out the idea. Here is a teaser.
