  • Design killer: How perfection causes more problems than it solves

    As design experts, we spend SO much of our time sweating the small stuff. Does that pixel look weird? Should I move that letter a fraction of a cm to the left? Is that font bold enough?

    Reality check. Those things just DON'T MATTER as much as we think they do! There are more important things to customers than perfection.

    Join the angry designers as they unravel the mystery of the poison of perfection, why it exists in the minds of creators, and not in the minds of customers. In this episode we cover:

    • why it's unattainable
    • why we think we need it
    • the poison of perfection
    • solutions to avoid it

    You will leave this episode with more free time and happier clients (and hopefully less stress)
