1. I definitely lean towards 2 days or just have it set up where there's more room for breaks between events. 2. I might be able to be involved I had a good time previously it just depends on what amount of work/freelance I have.

I'll keep my eye on this. As I get more free time I hope to explore this a bit more and share with you all what I come up with. I'm also open to collaborating because it might help me block the time and find the proper motivation to get things done.

I'm genuinely so excited for this class and I told my boss about it and he's all in for me doing this.

I completely agree with a lot of what you said Danny. Her points are valid for a mid to senior level person but for a junior level this doesn't really apply. Her "intuition" imo just sounds like knowing how to absorb user research without defined guardrails. Most designers already do this to some degree imo it's kinda what makes you a designer and maybe led you to this job path to begin with. But until you learn to hone those skills "intuition" will need a process of some sort to start from. That said I do agree challenging the traditional workflow is important but you have to start somewhere when communicating with a team or clients to set goals/standards. You can't just be like yea we will make something and not show the steps people generally have a hard time paying for an undefined set of expectations/process. It makes me feel like what she is talking about works ideally with an internal product/team not something that needs to be "sold" to an outside client.
