5. Spent days putting this awesome design together
and just got client feedback. Looks like I'll be
spending the next few days ruining it!!
Gah. Working w/ a client who doesn't get this.
Making my head explode. They don't care about UX.
When you push forward a client design request
that you both know is a terrible idea.

…who are weird and
complicated.

The turning point in
many interviews is when
the interviewee gets up
and closes the office door
and lowers their voice.

29. This is the extraordinary thing
about creativity: If you just
keep your mind resting against
the subject in a friendly but
persistent way, sooner or later
you will get a reward from your
unconscious…

There is a direct
correlation between
this exposure and the
improvements we see
in the designs that
team produces.
