Paths, Puddles, Products
Trails to innovation: Wandering in design, development & business on foot
Welcome to the Paths, puddles, products podcast, where we explore the paths and puddles of innovation. We are a duo of international product designers with over a decade of experience working in diverse industries, and we're here to share our insights, stories, and takeaways with you.
Join us as we walk and talk about the realities of product design, debunking myths and shedding light on the good, the bad, and the ugly. We'll go beyond the buzzwords to give you a true picture of what it's really like to work in design, development, and business.
And don't forget, just like hiking, it's not just about the destination - it's about the journey. So grab your headphones and come walk with us.
