How will we combat inequality, rising populations, climate change, and more in the future? What will that look like in terms of technology?
Can technology create equality, or does it inherently foster inequality?
Will technology help connect us or further separate us?

How can I better my own creative process?
How can I find bits and pieces in the creative process that I find most joy in?
How can I tangibly show that joy and learnings to my creative community?
How can I incorporate ethical consideration in each design decision? How can I make my design process more considerate and intentional?

Insights
Get everything people have said up on a wall or board- somewhere you can return to.
Natalie Lew / natalielew.com / twitter: @natalierobinlew / insta: @natrlew
Write down shorthand you understand. Seems obvious? Sometimes it isn’t.
Natalie Lew / natalielew.com / twitter: @natalierobinlew / insta: @natrlew
Ideation
Draw. On big paper, small paper, cardboard, DRAW.
Natalie Lew / natalielew.com / twitter: @natalierobinlew / insta: @natrlew
Set constraints.

Wireframing and Prototyping
What are the most important features? Think structure, even when abstract.

Start small and work your way up.
