June Edit.

Here’s something new. I’m introducing what I hope will become a monthly feature. A selection of what’s inspired me in the last month, hand-picked with an eye toward what you might find relevant, moving, and helpful. 

The idea for this monthly edit was inspired by my own client who said, “Thanks for sending this. I love knowing what you’re reading."

So here’s a list of 3 items from my June List.

An honest and empowering look at what it means to find a new “normal” in the wake of an unexpected, chronic health diagnosis. By Grace Bonney of Design Sponge. A testament to coping and living well.  http://www.designsponge.com/2016/05/life-with-type-1-diabetes.html

This Tedx talk by designer Deborah Alder where she reminds us to solve at human scale (yes, for one person) and “go to the gemba” for our insights. (You may not recognize her name, but you’ve likely seen her work. Her MFA show in design at the School of Visual Arts led to Target’s launch of its new pill bottles + instructions.)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_DGAGzyPEg
