This is a wild one! Andre and I dive into a plethora of design and engineering topics, from designing with a manager across the US using Gravity Sketch in VR, how to deal with ambiguity, how eggs inspired him to invent a vacuum cleaner, how teams that are flat are the highest performing groups, why engaging customer on the front-end matters, cardboard prototyping, de-siloing, why procedural design is the future of creating, open-source hardware, why sketching while brainstorming in teams yields faster outcomes, and how to THINK BIG!
