So I typically meet with our designers for a couple hours every week and we just look at work.
I mean, new work every week, you know, hundreds of ideas, I would guess, you know, on a weekly basis that, you know, to me, you know, if I think about, um,
where I learned how to design and build things, I have sort of an interesting combination because, you know, I went to Stanford for the product design program, which is really focused on empathy, right?
In this iterative process of understanding what people want and building prototypes and iterating, but really centered on empathy, right?
Human-centered design.
And then at the same time, I had also been to art school.
So I had studied at Art Center.
I'd studied at Otis here in Los Angeles, both, you know, great art schools.
And so I was used to this like grinding, you know, expectation that you're making new work all the time.
And then just an absolutely brutal critique process, you know, on a regular basis.
And so, you know, for me, as I thought about, you know,
the parts of my education that I really liked, it was this combination of really developing empathy with people and the types of products that they want in their lives, but at the same time having this really high velocity work ethic where you're not just thinking all the time about new products.
You're actually making stuff every week all the time, and then you're talking about it as a team because that critique process is where so much of the learning happens.
I would say that the velocity of work is really important because our favorite saying is, if you want to have a good idea, you have to have lots of ideas.
That's really, really important.
Wow, that's really interesting.
I would say you have to talk to customers.
You have to share your idea.
You should share your idea as quickly as possible, as frequently as possible.
It doesn't mean you need to take people's advice or feedback, but it's really important, I think, to listen.
