In this episode, Laura and Kate talk about the many voices that talk to them while they're designing things and frankly, we think maybe 2020 was a little bit much for them and they finally snapped. 

Drink Pairing: Whiskey and Sarsaparilla 

In this episode, Kate and Laura discuss designing for lazy, irrational people. Or, you know, people. 

Drink Pairing: Veuve Clicquot Rose

In this episode, Kate and Laura contradict pretty much everything they've ever told you so that Laura can brag about her new electric car that she doesn't drive anywhere because she never leaves the house. 

But seriously, sometimes you're designing something you can't really measure! And that's hard!

Drink Pairing: It's nog season, baby!

In this episode, Kate and Laura ask a fundamental question - why on earth do you believe that completely unbelievable thing? Or anything really? What are you basing your product assumptions on and how can you stop doing it so badly? 

Drink Pairing: Make Believe

In this episode, Kate and Laura argue about what it means to design with real content and actual user data, which is a weird thing to argue about, since it's pretty straightforward. Anyway, knock it off with the Lorem Ipsum!

Drink Pairing: Smoked Old Fashioned

In this episode, Kate and Laura not so briefly discuss design briefs and how you should approach them. Laura almost achieves enlightenment when she asks "What is Chair?" but then quickly ruins it, as you might imagine.
