Why They Don't Like Designers

Season 1, Ep. 1
•

Designers are notoriously... difficult to deal with. We can say that because we are designers, too. Graphic designers, product designers, experience designers - we all seem to get wrapped up in the same perception. Where did that perception come from, and how do we go about fixing it?


Jeremy and Jared dive into that question and more, while giving you real life examples and tactics you can implement, too. It's all a part of our pursuit of digital goodness.
