Well, Seth Minard, a former Interaction Designer at Cooper is an Example of that. Seth has turned the focus of his design practice inwards to re-design his life. Perhaps, transformation starts with the designer, before attempting to design experiences for others?<\/p>\n<p>He gave up his job, belongings and life in San Francisco to take on a new adventure in Europe and attitude to life.
