Let's make something good
Tue 25 October 16As digital product designers we often find ourselves caught between two seemingly opposing forces. On the one hand we’re told to be lean, to ‘don’t worry be crappy’, to ship scrappy MVPs and fail fast. On the other side lies the belief that high quality, emotionally rich experiences are critical to staying competitive.
Organisations like TransferWise are geared towards lean product development and rapid growth, so how can we make the case for considered design and beautifully crafted experiences. And how good is good enough?
