Rapid Ideation Part 1

Going into the meeting I couldn’t help but feel nervous about the theme and the whole process.

What if I don’t finish anything or it’sContinue reading “Rapid Ideation Part 1”

Our challenge doesn’t start until Wednesday where we decide the theme so I thought I’d use the time beforehand to finish off another project I’ve been working on.
