 Ah yes, the millennial aesthetic. The only style of design that I am aware of where every single item needs to call attention to itself. Perhaps you have encountered a room or store with this aesthetic? if you have, I'm sure that you will recall seeing neon signs with odd fonts, brightly coloured furniture, and possibly a strong smell that you can't quite put your finger on. Personally, I find this aesthetic to be obnoxious, the fact that every single thing in the room competes for attention makes me feel like I am back in Vegas, and not in a good way. Although this design typically disgusts me I do understand why people enjoy the usefulness of it. In this millennial aesthetic, every item is striving to fill its role in the most practical, and simple way possible, and I believe that does have some inherent value that makes it justifiable, but please no more neon pink signs with cheesy phrases on them.

The journey these individuals are on is a hard one, and one that should not be looked down upon. These hard working and big dreaming folk are used to sn...

 I personally believe that business can be good for doing more than just filling the pockets of shareholders. With that being said, I am not naive to the fact that this is often why business businesses are created and used, but frankly I do not have a tremendous issue with this. No one is being forced to buy the product that you are selling so I see no issue with lining your pockets thanks to the creations of a good product or service. I do however think that all businesses should put more consideration into the well-being of all of their stakeholders when operating. This means that when people are operating their business they should not only be looking out for their bottom line but also for their employees, customers, their community, the environment, and many many other things. The largely divisive part of this conversation is how we should ensure that businesses are not ignoring the needs of all of their stakeholders. Unfortunately, I am unsure of how to do this, but for me, I ...
