“The beautiful thing about children is it doesn’t take much for them to understand how to operate as a designer, because they’ve been able to leverage make-believe, which is essentially the same tool we use as designers when putting together mood boards and customer journeys.”
"Over the course of 62 pages, (designer Jason) Mayden uses bright typography to tell his own story, starting with his childhood when he was fighting a blood infection in the hospital. He leveraged that terrible moment to dive into his own imagination. From there, the story slowly unrolls into an explainer on design, breaking down tricky concepts like inclusive design, while giving an overview of all the ways design impacts everything from education to policy. In this sense, the children’s book treatment works very well in outlining the scope of design while explaining concepts 'like I’m five.' It’s the perfect short read for adults, even if the story is written for kids." - Mark Wilson
