Are you in need of some inspiration to get that side-project off the ground? I first came across the efforts of Tim Hoover and Jess Karle Heltzel through Kickstarter and their successfully funded campaign for Kern and Burn, an online and print publication celebrating those who’ve championed design entrepreneurship.

“Kern and Burn invites design entrepreneurs—those who pursue self-initiated projects, to think for themselves, and channel passions into self-made careers—to share their perspectives. They are designers who dream big and burn the midnight oil to forge their own paths.”

100 Days of Design Entrepreneurship is a collection of essays and interviews covering some of the creative industry’s biggest game-changing people and projects — Wilson Minor, Jessica Hische, Mikey Burton, and the Designer Fund just to name a few. And they’re only on day 86, which means there’s still more inspiration to come.

PS. I can’t wait to write a post about my copy Kern and Burn!
