Speaking & writing
I love doing public speaking and storytelling, as well as sharing thoughts I've had about design over the years.
However, my philosophy is that as designers, we need to be constantly immersing ourselves in topics outside of digital design, so that we have the inspiration and wisdom we need to solve problems responsibly.
