Back in the day, I had the spurious idea of releasing a set of Post-it notes with "ideas" and "concepts" already scribbled on them. Like, "Ready-made Post-its", or "Post-its-to-Go".

Buy a pack, spread them randomly on your whiteboard, take a picture, post it (ho ho) on Instagram, and hey presto: you're giving the impression of being hard at work on something.

I should have done that. In different colours, of course.

Design thinking was supposed to fix the world. Where did it go wrong?

An approach that promised to democratize design may have done the opposite.
