Getting from point A to point B is sometimes messy even when we are simply walking — wondering if the path is right, if we are going in the right direction, what if we took that shortcut and so on.

One Day Builds I’m a huge fan of Adam Savage’s One Day Builds. At the beginning of the day he starts with a pile of materials, and ends up holding something that he once coveted (this one is my favourite).

Why designers need to learn how to speak the same language as stakeholders
