When my daughter was in kindergarten I helped her make a bird feeder from a milk jug and some chop sticks for her science project. Not sure what she got on that project, but I do know it ignited a life-long love of birds, nature and the outdoors. Nothing could make me prouder.
I do some graphic design and videography stuff on the side, but I had an opportunity to do a half-hour long documentary project. I wrote the script, parsed a bunch of raw footage, record voice overs, did some animation--it was a culmination of a bunch of small things that I've learned over the years that felt really good to produce something that felt big.
