because it forces you to think of everything as a system.”
On education and knowing your design tools,

“The faster you are at the tool and the quicker you are at
doing things that are boring, the more time you can spend on real
design problems and actually innovating and solving the things that
the computer can’t solve.”
On the future of UX design in a world of
fast-changing tech, 20:46
