In our everyday work and life, confronting deadlines and limited resources, we forget the value of play. Play and work are seen in opposition to one another. But when the two overlap, creativity flourishes, and we can experience engaging and exuberant design. How can play elevate our work? And our work invite play?

NYC-based graphic designer and illustrator Erin Jang shares her exploration of purposeful play in projects both personal and professional, and how a playful approach to seeing, making, and collaborating with others has inspired her work.
