As we kick off the new year, we’re sharing some of the most memorable stories and lessons from the past one. Over the past 365 days we’ve had the chance to speak with some of the brightest minds in design who lead the world’s best design organizations at Apple, Airbnb, and Google.
We released some notable publications this year as well, including the Animation Handbook, Audiobook versions of all 7 of our books, and the New Design Frontier, our industry-spanning report on design maturity. Explore all of this and much more below. As always thanks for tuning in and we can’t wait to voyage into the new year together, armed with what we’ve learned in 2019.
