We discuss one of our favorite UX classics: Don't Make Me Think, by Steve Krug

Today we are joined by Santiago Zindel Mundet Cruz, the director of The Roux Institute Founder Residency in Portland Maine. We dive into the program, the work designers contribute to the success of the companies and the exciting companies in the program. Spoiler alert, the designers in the program are called design wizards!

Atul Khola and Chirag Ghube discuss UX design, the importance of good storytelling, favorite design tools and not reading books.

Additionally: learning the rules to break the rules, creating exceptional designs, and using feedback on Twitter to gauge user sentiment.

Atul and Chirag explore how attached a designer should be to their designs, and the tendancy we all have to hate our old work.
