About this listen
When we become acutely aware of the surroundings of our life, we discover that art is not only found in museums, but it also appears in food, music, nature, and so much more. Beyond what the eye can see, this book is a collection of stories told from the viewpoint of a seasoned designer, depicting how art and design flood our everyday lives through music, food, nature, and so much more.
Laura Ballerini, a designer who started much of her creative journey at a big city newspaper and now owns her own digital design boutique, seamlessly weaves together an unlikely array of stories about her inspiring mother, museum visits, online shopping, designing in the dirt, and many other adventures (including a visit to Graceland). Some of these essays are funny, some poignant—all are memorable snippets of universal experiences meant to spark our awareness and awaken us to the rich fields of design all around us.
While this is Ballerini's personal journey spanning over 40 years of working in the design industry, those of us who are willing to be awakened will realize that art and design are the glue that hold all of life together.
