designers have creative in their job description, but as i have found, at the end of the day and work week i have a surplus of creative energy. so what do you do with this excess? get a hobby, perhaps? this is how we [here at welt] apply our creativity, even the non-designers; what do you do with yours?

GINA // sewing
as a child, i remember sewing with my mom. my favorite things she made me were: a blue cordouroy knicker/vest combo (seriously, i was in second grade), a quilt, and a particular halloween costume… snow white. which brings me to my first sewing project: a dinosaur costume for my 2 yr old son. sewing is like putting together a 3d puzzle with a twist of design!

John Heartfield, was a pioneer in this medium and had a career of pointed commentary of the social and political climate of his time.
