Design and supply chains: “The answer ‘focus on the user experience’ is not enough for a company, it is just the starting point.”
Design is not about solving problems: “Obviously designers do solve problems, but then so do dentists. Design is about cultural invention.”
Crocs Shoe Company On Last Legs?: “The company’s toast. They’re zombie-ish. They’re dead and they don’t know it.”
Piggy Bank | Significant Objects: “My Daddy shouts at me when I go near the piggy bank, and he screams when I turn it upside down.” Story by Matthew De Abaitua.
