They all described the same thing. @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

But they all used different words. @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

Everybody speaks design. @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

We just speak it differently. @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

Hey, I’m Matt Hryhorsky rye-horse-key @matt_hy @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

2004 2005 2006 @matt_hy 2007 / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

2004 2005 2006 2007 R.I.P @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

2004 2005 2006 2007 HEY NEIGHBOUR @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

2004 2005 2006 @matt_hy 2007 / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

“can we make it pop more?” @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

Huh? @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

“it should be more corporate” @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

Say what? @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

“I’m looking for something cleaner” @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

WTF? @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

“can you give me more oomph?” @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

I don’t think I’m legally allowed to… well, this is awkward. @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

Sure! But completely unsure. @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

How many of you enjoy looking like an idiot? @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

Fear. I was terrified @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

Fear. F.O.M.O @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

Fear of looking dumb F.O.L.D @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

Fear of being fired F.O.B.F @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

Fear of letting everyone in on the secret that I didn’t in fact know what they meant when they said the words pop, clean, or corporate. F.O.L.E.I.O.T.S.T.I.D.I.F @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

I felt like an imposter. @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

I wanted to be perfect. @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

Design is Inspiration and magic, right? @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

Wrong. @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

I didn’t know how to be more curious than confident. @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

Affirmations? Why the heck not. @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

All together now… It’s okay to ask why! @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

I’m not being a jerk! @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

My work is not me… @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

And I am not my work! @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com

It’s about communication and problem-solving, not self-expression. @matt_hy / #ISpeakDesign / matthryhorsky.com
