"All my work is much more peaceful than I am"—Maya Lin

As I enter my final lap of preparing to start something new, I find myself instead hitting the breaks over fears and self-doubt. Hearing "real talk" like this was refreshing and encouraging, especially coming from a success like Design*Sponge's Grace Bonney. Beyond the comfort of knowing one is not alone, it also gave a few good practical suggestions to respond constructively to fears as well.

This talk was given at Weapons of Mass Creation Fest 2014 in Cleveland, OH. Grace Bonney is the founder of the blog Design*Sponge.

Also, now I want to attend WMC. Next year perhaps?!
