Whether between designers or with developers, the review of deliverables is an integral part of our work. Here is a tool that we might be useful to you too. Fancy testing it?

Brutal honesty: the new look sustainable marketing
 

SustainabilityBrutal honesty: the new look sustainable marketing

“Brands are admitting their flaws and eschewing the “sustainable” label in a bid to build consumer trust and forgiveness. It is radical transparency pushed further. Here’s how to get it right.”

 
 
This Climate Does Not Exist
 

ExperienceThis Climate Does Not Exist

It is an AI-driven experience based on empathy, allowing people to witness the environmental impacts of the current climate crisis. One location at a time.

 
 
 

Point of view

 
 
User Experience
 

A couple of lines of the importance and opportunities of play at work. Questions tied to learning and breaking rules, inviting crazy ideas to the design table, explore unexpected solutions and enjoy the process doing it. How wrong is it? It is not. This is a rightful way to keep stimulating our brain. Playfulness is visible in what we do and are transmitted to people using our work. It is good for our (mental) health and beneficial to our work. This is a reminder to play more, as a team.

And I’ll stick to (maybe) a romantic idea that when you play, accept you may lose. That’s OK, because you get to play again!

Quote of the month

"New and innovative work comes from the unexpected places, not the “right” answer, and it’s our childlike sense of wonder, curiosity, and play that makes it possible."
