Episode 5: Stories and Lessons of Our Favorite and Not-So-Favorite Projects

This episode is a discussion about projects we have worked on. We share how we pick the projects, themes, and materials we bring together to create our products. We also discuss the role of flow and synergy in working together and the importance of keying off each other’s strength, listening and productive criticism.
