Part of architecture school was learning that #creativity is constrained by the tools you have. If you want to make something new oftentimes you have to build new tools as well. You can only build big if you dream big. __"It’s important to elevate the things and places we use every day ... why not use beautiful things?"__

Inspired by this [site](https://willbuildlater.com/) I've put together a living list of things I've always wanted to build. When motivation strikes it can be tricky to know what is worthwhile to build; the first thing you think of is not always the 'best' thing. Conversely ideas have a shelf-life. Sometimes they're pointers to a need that no longer exists or a person you no longer are.
