Designers are passionate. We make the world demonstrably better by the practice of our craft. Yet after a few years, many of us secretly harbor elaborate daydreams about quitting our jobs, raising free-range alpacas, and selling hand-knit sweaters on Etsy. Why do so many of us face exhaustion, disillusionment, and burnout? How can we find the balance necessary to be both fantastic designers and fully formed, happy, healthy human beings?
