Today, I want to talk about spatial perception, or lack of it. For many years, I thought designing was beyond me, because I have a lot of trouble "seeing" things in my head. I was convinced that creativity only comes from people who can visualize a thing and then figure out how to translate that vision into a finished object. Obviously, I was wrong, but getting to the place where I believed I was a legitimate designer was a journey and one I want to share. If you're struggling with poor spatial perception, take heart!—there is hope. I believe our brains are able to learn new skills. Come along as I fail, repeatedly, to sew a spatially-complicated top and rejoice with me when I finally figure it out.
