Alternative Design Careers
A few ambitious students at Harvard's prestigious Graduate School of Design found some time in their insane workload to create a series called 'Alternative Design Careers'. Invited speakers share stories from the trenches. The theme? Show how design thinking, hustle, and perseverance combine to create meaningful products and services. The tour after the talk took me through their breathtaking tray-styled workspace, water-cutting-robots, butt-mates and all. Thanks for the love, GSD!

Lapka
This gorgeous device measures unusual stats about things in the real world via hardware/software combo. What excites me most about Lapka is the proof point of online & offline converging, with mobile right in the middle. In addition to clean site and product design, the photography is best in class, turning hands into pedestals for the product. Well done. https://mylapka.com/
