Design is Design. A talk on the creative process

Event Overview: 

Designers love to talk about process. As if there’s a process to do what we do.  In this talk, Matt Conway (creative director at frog design) will make a case that designers should put as much design thinking into how we approach our work as  we do for the work itself.  There is no (great) cookie cutter process for the same reason as there is no (great) cookie cutter product. Talk begins at 6:30.
