Episode notes

I think the biggest failure would be when I stopped 3D design. So then it was like I've wasted a lot of money on because I was on school. And so I just said, okay, let me try out other fields like, should I go back to programming? Should I try something new? And that was their design in museum interfaces. If I didn't spend those 3 years doing that, I'm not sure any of my work could be as unique and different. Do you guys do user testing over there in your office? I mean, I know that a big part of your process is first of all defining the target audience and then kind of making sure that your designs work

Joshua Oluwagbemiga motivates us to allow different inputs to influence our visual outputs. He shows us the effective power of determination when pursuing the craft of design. He also reminds us that inspiration is all around us...if we’re looking for it.
