From What I've Gathered is a book of a collection of essays sharing new ideas, "Aha!" moments and the experiences that lead to them. The essays highlight ideas that I've come to learn about myself, graphic design, and others, focusing on how perspectives shift through the lens of personal narrative. This is the audio version of those essays.
