Shots of Purpose

Do you ever export your InDesign file to a PDF to have a different look at it? How about your UIs, ever export them to a phone just to see what it really looks like? Is that one of those intangible design skills?

In this episode, Brian and Joost talk about what skills make a good designer. Do you need to be stubborn? Maybe. What about curious? Definitely. Hop on our Double Decker Analogy bus and find out what we think separates the average from the good in this episode of Shots of Purpose.

It’s Dutch Design Week! This year’s theme is ‘If Not Us, Then Who?’ To talk about that, we brought on Tove Elfferich from MorgenMakers She’s a rising social designer, and with her, we talk about the impact of the DDW and which projects we find most powerful.

You can find Tove with MorgenMakers in Hall 4 of the Klokgebouw in Strijp-S during the Dutch Design Week.

And more information about MorgenMakers can be found on their website.

Design Thinking, what is it? We talk about our perspective on Design Thinking and how we apply it in our lives, both professionally and personally. Spoiler: we agree, but not entirely.

The hosts Brian, Joost and Tom talk about how the Pirate principles written in “Be More Pirate” by Sam Connif Allende apply to today’s design and business.
