Eva-Lotta came to Amsterdam for a meetup at the University of Applied Sciences in Amsterdam, where I teach. In the morning before the meetup she gave a workshop about sketching interfaces for a group of very lucky interface design students. And between these two things she had some time, and more than enough energy to record this podcast with me as well. Incredible.

designers don’t need detailed knowledge about the business of their clients: designers need the knowledge of finding solutions for any kind of new problem.

This conversation goes anywhere. We start out with a simple conversation about the importance of the question why for designers. Then we talk about sketching, and somehow, from there, pretty quickly we talk about artificial intelligence, and the dangers of AI’s that are controlled by businesses instead of communities.
