I usually do not cry while reading substack pieces, but this one felt really personal. As someone with so many dreams and many futures planned in my head for myself, this really hit home. Beautiful piece!!

GIRL. this is literally mirror check for me. i'm the same age as you and at the moment i'm as well on the learning path of visual/product/interaction design, and if it's going well, i'd be pivoting my career immediately. also i get it all how it feels to just want to create, make beautiful products and practical design for the world and myself. that's why i believe you WILL be a good designer and writer or everything in life you desire to be 💙🙏

This piece is so chic. Is that weird to say? It's elegant and it's level-headed and it's real and it's not manicured nor manufactured but it is also polished and, again, elegant. Thank you, Evie, this was wonderful. I hope you get everything you want with all of my heart <33
