My article for the Stanford Journal of Design – Ambidexterous – has finally been published! Ambi has been one of my favorite publications on design for years and it’s real honor to be part of it. If you’re interested in the real world of design (behind all the shiny objects and pretty pictures) I would highly recommend getting a subscription.
You can either download the pdf of my article here or buy the whole magazine at ambidexterous.org

The final of the series was Stanford d.school professors and students presenting designer as you.
