Locating over your head

Locating over your head

Alexander Isley on going to work for Tibor Kalman:

It’s really important to be in over your head, to put yourself in a position where you’re in over your head — whether you’re a designer or just a human being. To be challenged. Because you know what? After a couple of weeks of being completely terrified, you’re on top of it, and you can do it. (8:00)

Love the subtle hierarchy: “a designer or just a human being.”
