@palimpsest_Au Sydney is a sporting early city though. One can have a decent meal at absurdly early hours. Might be a bit like LA more than Madrid

[Grant Cheyne @cheyne_grant]

@palimpsest_Au Haha yes. Forget about the “night time economy” how about starting with something functioning between 3-6 and 9-12

@moenaert @designthinkbot Design Thinking is simply the process of (true) design “the way it was always supposed to be” however has been hijacked as a term for lesser purposes

[Grant Cheyne @cheyne_grant]

@DenisVukosav Indeed and it can be very demoralising

@to_make_aus @arthurbrooks I knew it!

@DenisVukosav Whenever I see offices dressed in festive colours I ask myself “would you have that in your living room?”

Every now and then I’m reminded how incredibly talented courageous and dedicated artists can be

@andrewmanytrees @LinkedIn AI will undoubtably be central to next gen design. I hold the view that design is a lot more grounded and pragmatic than many assume so yes, an early adopter of AI for sure

[Grant Cheyne @cheyne_grant]

Great design flourishes in places where it is valued

[Grant Cheyne @cheyne_grant]

Why are few things well designed?
A - we don’t care?
B - it’s harder to design well?
C - combination of the above?
All this varies culture to culture #truedesign #designthinking #design #quality #value #architecture #interiordesign #productdesign #innovation

@modacitylife In Australia I believe compulsory protective clothing etc is directly driven by insurance companies. Reducing risk of injury is good for them. Workplaces and roads both have strict compulsory insurances. Cyclists may eventually need to wear hi-vis jackets but not pedestrians?

Sometimes facts can get in the way of the underlying issues #truedesign #designthinking #design #creativethinking

[Denis Vukosav @DenisVukosav]

Stories persuade in a way that facts rarely do - because stories make an emotional connection

@DenisVukosav Agree. Witnessing face to face how people relate to one another in a meeting allows me to gather important background info that would never be mentioned. #truedesign
