It's 2021. Why do we still spend so much time in bad meetings? 🤔

This week I reached the two year mark in my fitness streak. I’ve never really been a fitness nut before, but I think this officially makes me one now.

It’s been nagging me for a few months – what is the role of the designer? Do we have a say in the products we build, or should we just stay in our lanes of production?

Joe and I sat down to talk about it on Designer&Designer https://t.co/8I9LeXnMuG

I've been feeling pretty burned out over the last few years. Not so much over the work, but this nagging feeling that designers like myself could be doing more. Joe Alterio helps me process my malaise as I finally start opening up about it.

[Andy Budd @andybudd]

I’m constantly surprised how many companies out there balk at spending any money on design while simultaneously spending a tonne of money on an in-house dev team to build and rebuild the same thing over and over because nobody actually knows what they are building or why.
