Episode notes

"I came pretty late to design, I guess, as compared to anyone that came straight out of school," he says. "We somehow did get famous in Japan. Long story, but it's not bad." He has a Japanese sister who was at our show and saw the video come on TV. 'It's very difficult to explain what it means, but they were just telling me because they didn't want to tell me'

Matt Griffin shows us how empathy and sensitivity to the world around us is the key to great design. He teaches us how as a leader, the worst decision is no decision. He explains how hands are his most invincible UX resource or tool. He also inspires us starting out to take 'every damn opportunity we can get'.
