Week 23:Statement of Intent (SOI).

I enjoyed the launch, I like the start of the projects and I am going to stick to my guns this project. I know some people feel confused and uncomfortable with the way I work. It feels messy and confused but I like the freedom to discard things as I go along and find the…
