    • "Good read!"

      -Michael Rae Daabay, Head of Product Design

      -Keith March Mistler, Experience Designer

    • "This is a fantastic article! Really though, puts “problem solving” into perspective. Discovering problems and being able to frame them to find solutions. That’s where it’s at. :)"

    • "Loved this series, very useful. Thanks for sharing!"

      -Anna Jachimczak, Principal UX Strategist

    • "I love this! It was a hard pill to swallow but I guess one of the most important lessons I learnt in my career. Not just that, it helped me with my "happiness" at work too."
