Being a part of the startup and design culture, you often come across the term "Think Big." However, like many overused buzzwords, it tends to lose its significance over time. Surprisingly, this notion has resonated with me and frequently occupies my thoughts, prompting me to ponder its profound depths. What truly lies beneath the surface of thinking big? How can I cultivate this mindset? Am I thinking small? Do we all possess a shared understanding of what it means to think big? What if my current thinking falls short of the grand scale required? How big is big? How small is small really?

Early on in their journey, a good designer must master one crucial skill—the art of critique. The act of receiving criticism has taught me not to take things personally. Critique is not an assault on your being; it's an objective evaluation of the work or idea presented. It's a healthy conversation that delves into the feasibility and potential ideas.

Designing a better lifestyle for these communities necessitates a multi-faceted approach that addresses the many challenges they face. But just because it's difficult, should we not even attempt to make a difference?

Design has the power to bring about positive change and address complex social and cultural issues, including anti-black racism. By using design to raise awareness, advocate for change, and create inclusive spaces, designers can play a crucial role in promoting racial equity and justice.

Our agency underwent a transformation when we fully embraced design thinking and sprints as a key aspect of our process in early 2020. This shift completely changed our approach to client problems and challenged us to think differently about business and problem-solving. The design-thinking and sprint methodology broadened our perspectives, allowing us to see obstacles as opportunities. As we continued to use this process, I became increasingly invested in this way of working.

Every day, we are faced with reports of police officers using excessive, sometimes fatal, force against unarmed citizens. It's undeniable that law enforcement has a high-stress job, and like in any profession, there are good and bad actors. However, some careers may not be able to tolerate the consequences of having bad actors or such a large margin for error.
