Editor's Notes

  • #5 Customer Focused Uncertainty and Exploring Multiple Directions Focus on the Idea Failure before Execution Be able to Let Go
  • #11 A canvas is a blank space, a completely white starting point from which an artist or designer can start to build. A canvas is supposed to be creative, messy, constantly changing.
