What are your intersections or how do you describe what you do? How do all these things mash up and connect?

Well, in the beginning of my career, I was identified myself with the work that I was doing, right? I was a designer and it was really important that everybody knew that I was a designer.
22:52
So much so, actually, I was the Swedish designer even, you know, got that label.
22:57
And then when I left and started my own company, I started it with a really dumb kind of business model, which was I want to do stuff I've never done before, which isn't very sellable because people usually want an expert.

Yeah.
23:15
I started doing it like that.
