Experimentation and exploration is the secret ingredient to innovative design. Many successful designers and studios are practicing this idea to refresh their process and stay passionate. This talk will explore Myron’s personal beliefs on creative process. The importance as a working designer to: • Maintain a personal practice without limitations be it art, tutorials or tests • Include an experimental component into your creative process. • To be ok with taking risks and making something ugly to reach innovation • Encourage designers to fail and salvage beauty from mistakes
