Tabidane is actually a romanized representation of the Japanese sentence, 旅だね。, meaning “It’s a journey isn’t it?.” I chose this as my design persona because I believe that sentence is a great representation of how I approach design and life in general. Sometimes we encounter struggles and roadblocks along the way, but those periods are not the end of our journey. While we may not understand or be able to do something now, that doesn’t mean we can never do so. We just need to keep looking ahead in search of new opportunities to learn and grow!
