Episode notes

Timothy Snyder: I'm always fighting for the users every day. He says he has to level set, especially when you're able to come in and be the new designer on the project. "I cry myself in that constant battle where I'm battling with people who think they know it all" 'Every day is always like a fight because there's always someone who's like to take something small'

Tim Hykes shines a light on black designers. He shows us how an inspiring idea, and a lot of hard work can make a huge impact. He inspires us to challenge everything, especially the status quo. He motivates us to not wait to be asked to solve a problem, but to be a self-starter and solve it. He also teaches us how being a great designer starts with being a great person.
