Today is World Book Day 📚 Our shelves are full of a range of topics, from art and design (duh) to business and communications to classics and ecology. Even with new technology like e-books, you can't beat the feeling of paper pages in your hands. What are you reading these days? . . . . . . posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/2HjsfXC

Congrats to Robin who’s off on maternity leave today! 🤰 . Flashback to 2013 when she was ‘lucky’ enough to volunteer to trial an ice treatment on her hair during the early stages of @inversehair development. Brrr 🥶 . Thank goodness we created a system that’s easier (and much more comfortable) than dipping your head into a bucket of ice!) Check out @inversehair — Robin still uses hers to bring out the best in her curly locks 💁‍♀️ . . . . . . posted on Instagram - http://bit.ly/2UQMMGQ

Deep thinking sometimes ends up in what we call the "designer stare" -- the sign of great insights bubbling to the surface. Or something like that 😉 . . . . . . posted on Instagram - http://bit.ly/2FUwqcz

When we develop a product, we don't stop at the physical design -- we'll take on the branding, packaging, and collateral. Here's a sample of the bike rack assembly cards we created for @ubcobikes line of accessories. . . . posted on Instagram - http://bit.ly/2S2bCFW

We love to get stuck in on a discovery, get our gumboots dirty, get into place and test all the products. See you on the farm! (or in the workshop, on the water, at the salon, or wherever great product development begins!) Get in touch to start your discovery and let us help you take your ideas from idea to commercial success! . . . posted on Instagram - http://bit.ly/2T30hCx

user research tip: get into place. You'll learn more from getting into the environment you want to learn about, meeting people and seeing them in their natural habitat than you could ever find out while sitting at your desk. Bonus tip: take along one of our custom designed journals or field journals for super handy note taking😉🗒️🖊️ Find more tips & tricks for field research (and what to do with your findings) in our Generating Insights resource, free to download from our website!
