Playtime is very important in our field. It promotes creativity, positive attitudes, fun, ideas, movement and people-to-people interaction. Playtime integrated into our daily lives inspired our final project for IDP but it’s something I believe in personally on many levels.

I lent a flamingo hat to my brother and I sported a clown nose for an evening out. Why? Because it’s fun. Because playtime is fun. But, because it also inspires a new way to enjoy an otherwise routine experience. Have fun inspires creativity. It’s important in our field.

I also believe in working hard. It’s a work hard play hard situation. My goal is to integrate play into work while still meeting deadlines.
