Service Design YAP Improv as a Prototype and other tactics designers need to steal from stage-craft, with Adam St John Lawrence
In this festive bonus episode of Service Design YAP, we sit down with Adam St John Lawrence to understand how he uses tactics and techniques from theatre in his design work.
Adam, the goatee sporting GOAT of Service Design, draws on an "eclectic" background that includes farming and psychology (plus some bouncing and stripping), to offer some radical challenges to design’s dusty “best practices”.
He a natural raconteur who tell stories and shares insight that everyone will find funny and enlightening in equal measure.
