Labs for Design & Business

Half an year ago, a friend of mine approached me and asked me if I am interested in joining her submitting a work to a design contest, 2009 DiabetesMine™ Design Challenge. It was an online competition about new tools for improving life with diabetes. I answered ‘why not?’ and had several times of discussions with her and another designer friend.

First of all, it was fun to work with two professional designers. They constantly pumped out interesting and wacky ideas. I was impressed by the amount of effort they invested and the quality of the final outcome.

What did I learn from this experience? “Business people talk a lot, but designers make a lot.”
