		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve graduated! Two years of projects, classes, clients, tiredness, fun, and general smartness have resulted in another giant piece of paper:

I&#8217;ll be working a little bit this summer with UPMC doing some entrepreneurial design. But so far all I&#8217;ve been doing is relaxing, relaxing, and&#8230; more relaxing (and submitting a paper to Design and Emotion). [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t had too many events to inspire a blog post lately, although laziness may have been a factor in my small hiatus from blogging. But I suppose three major events did happen in the past month that are worth mentioning and filing into my little &#8220;design milestones&#8221; virtual filing cabinet. One: I attended the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think one of the best parts about doing research as a designer is our ability to adapt. Adaptation is such a crucial skill for a designer, not only longterm adaptations as project progress changes, but also on-the-fly, spontaneous changes while talking research participants.
I spent most of my afternoon at Pittsburgh Children&#8217;s Hospital today, as [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been slaving away at this assignment for weeks. Or at least it felt that way. I wasn&#8217;t really happy with anything that I had come up with until the very end (and still, there are things that aren&#8217;t quite right&#8230; but that&#8217;s the way it works with all these projects!).
