Designers Reveal Their New Year’s Resolutions

A lot of people will poo-poo the idea of New Year's resolutions, saying we should be trying to better ourselves all year long, not just at the turn of a calendar. But we disagree...sort of. Come January 1, there's no better time to re-tool and revisit all the big goals, challenges, and dreams you've had simmering on the back burner. So, to kick-start our own self-improvement mission, we asked a few of our designer friends to pipe in about their New Year's to-do's to offer up a little inspiration. Here's to making good on the best of 'em!
