Welcome to Level 2 of the Podcast!
This week I interview Leo Frishberg. Leo is a long-time designer with a set of powerful opinions to match his impressive resume!
He’s recently written a book on “presumptive design”, and it’s filled with incredible techniques that allow designers to make better decisions earlier and more effectively.

Leo’s Book, Presumptive Design: Design Provocations for Innovation, can be found on Amazon here.

You can also purchase it directly from the publisher. Use the code COMP315 for a 30% discount and free shipping!
