Dabbling like a Duck
Are you swimming in new waters?
Do you love diving into the unknown?
Are there depths to your professional practice that you have avoided?
Dabbling is a light-hearted way to try new things. The definition of GOOD dabbling isn't immediate success. GOOD dabbling is simply exploring - trying something new - learning for fun. A duckling learns to dabble so they can explore the depths of a pond to find food and nourishment.
As designers, dabbling sustains our creative reservoir. Keeping a sense of play in architectural practice will grow you in ways you don't expect.
