Before I had kids, I worked as an engineer. Designing patterns fulfills my desire for technical creation. I like the challenge of iterating and refining a design. When I get stuck, it is helpful for me to write out requirements to focus on what I am trying to achieve with the design. I find it satisfying to get out a scale and spreadsheets and make calculations. Writing the patterns is a bit like programming and changes the idea from a prototype that only I made into something others can make too. Seeing what other people have made using my patterns brings me great joy.
