Picking up from "Part 1: Fast Design & Challenging the Creative Industry," Jim, Danielle, and Will, discuss what it means to have a designer mindset. Through Jim's professional experience and Danielle's educational experience, they boil down the elements that professional designers work through and understand, explaining why professional design has a cost. As they move through this conversation, they also come to a defining conclusion about "fast design" and its place in the creative industry.
