Episode notes

Alexa, as Richard Neutra had that pretty profound and deep statement on his tombstone, what would you want written on yours? "I've really tried to solve a lot of problems. And I think in some ways it feels like I'm just sort of chipping away at them," she says. She's not finished though; pick up where she left off.

Alexa Roman motivates us to prove the value of design and contribute to it every single day. She encourages us to always be learning new things since designers work across many different fields. She inspires us to get more excited about analytics and measuring our designs. She also challenges us to think about what we want on our tombstones...while we’re still this side up.
