Same, every time I go to China I come back with a ton of ideas based on the manufacturing techniques I’ve learned about. I also feel like I learn how to design things that are more efficient to produce and assemble, leaving more BOM dollars to go into better materials and finishes.
When I was going 4-6 times a year to the same cities for 4 years or so it was amazing to note and observe the rapid change in the places themselves. It is not a static place.
But, we digress…
