Arielle Bodenstein and I are far more comfortable on zoom calls than the stage. However, after noticing that many design talks focus on sleek solutions and polished portfolios, we thought it was time to share the uncomfortable, and often unseen problems that we encounter every day.
In our talk, Arielle Bodenstein and I argue for the importance of problems in our work and in the world. Drawing on our experience as strategists and storytellers, we explore what it could look like when we embrace complexity, seek out friction, and see the potential in problems.
