Ep. 81 - Let There Be Light!

Sometimes things are so commonplace we don't even realize we are taking them for granted. Light is one of those things! The engineering and innovation that has brought use light whenever we want it should not be overlooked or under appreciated. From Christmas lights to a simple overhead light, we have light all around us at the flip of a switch. Our ancestors had to work for it! | I'm on X!

In this episode I discuss the 4 steps to design driven innovation as defined in the book Creative Confidence by Tom and David Kelley.

Ep. 76 - The Freedom of Constraint

In this episode I discuss how design constraints can actually lead to more freedom in decision making, eliminate design paralysis, and reduce writers "designers block". A lack of constraints will inevitably lead to compounding arbitrary decisions which will wreak havoc on project budgets and timelines. | Design for Manufacturability & Concurrent Engineering: https://a.co/d/04ON6Wlx | I'm on X!

Ep. 74 - Simple Is Rarely Easy

In this episode of Design30 I provide a few examples of why I believe simple is rarely easy. I provide an example of a simple stainless steel bowl and how it is manufactured, why the "simple" idea of the iPhone isn't so simple, and compare an iPod shuffle to an old school record player. At the vary end, I briefly touch on the idea that complexity in design is conserved. I'm excited to be back with the podcast and am so thankful to all of my listeners! | I'm on X!
