UX, UX, it’s all about User Experience. But what about the Designer’s experience of the User’s Designs?
We asked 15 design experts to rate 40 design solutions of children on creativity. The results showed statistically significant differences between generating design solutions through brainstorming and through a prototyping session.

90% of all PhD’s are employed full time after graduating, and, more importantly, I am still in the “young” group!
Hooray.
