Design Strategy vs. Design Vision: What's the Difference?
Design Strategy vs. Design Vision: What's the Difference?
by Jeff Humble
Dear Reader,
There's a rookie mistake that I see design strategists make over and over.

I wasn’t looking for feedback. I wasn’t asking for approval. I was hoping they’d pick it up and run with it. Instead? Confusion. Silence. They didn’t see what I saw. Not because they didn’t care.

Let's Talk about Liquid Glass by Jeff Humble Dear Reader, Goodbye, paper-like design. Hello, moving blobs of liquid glass!
