  • @MsCarrionswarm
    So that's why apple logo has bit on it, they remove the sticker

    I'm in tear As an aim-to-be product designer, this is the best speech I've ever listened to. I'm now more confident than ever that product design is my path, to make the world better. Thank you so much Mr. Tony Fadell

    This is awesome. Love the process of seeing a problem, getting an idea to fix it and working hard to make it real. So rewarding.

    I've been thinking about why I am way more stupid as I grow up. I viewed the world was super-duper different when I was a child and I feel like all of my potentials is gone now. Thanks for giving the answer.

    As a Designer I've learnt things that there are 2 parts to be a good designer. 1. You have to be good at the technical tool 2. You have to be good about principles. No number 1 means it's just an idea No number 2 means you just know how to do it but doesn't know why you do it.

    That is 100%, design is all about problem solving & enhancing user's experience, whether it's visual or product design

    There is five years, i watched this video for the first time. And i was student in web Designer. Today i listen for the second time and i noticed that i changed. I shared it with many people.
  • This is called User experience and there is some in every product, service, digital things not only app and website. Product designer are trained to it before modern UX appear.
  • Loved it! Think younger, experience the world as kids do and you also will live happier.

    some people never accept even the tiniest of things around them - watch this to be reminded of the little things that surround us, and the little things that are yet to come ..
  • @krupali607
    All events are so fun because people from far get together to help work on something people would need.. its an amazing talk though, I loved

    This class gives the basic perspective that product designers should have. Just as a comedian made us laugh by presenting our habitual behavior in our daily lives, not only product designers but also all designers are aware of everything and make small changes. In order to look at the small things, I think it will take a look at everything in the world, not a general and habitual one.
