3. ----- Meeting Notes (6/27/13 11:59) -----I mention this because I want you to know that there's nothing particularly special about me. I didn't grow up loving design. I didn't obsess over photoshop as a kid.

9. ----- Meeting Notes (6/27/13 12:38) -----is this sorta what you mean?i didn't invite wireframing. I just didn't know to google "wireframing" I didn't know it was a thing.so the next time someone asked me to design something i didn't fully get - i knew where to start.
10. ----- Meeting Notes (6/27/13 12:38) -----who has something like this on their website? I have written a dozen iterations on this over the yearsit's helpful. it takes a strange thing and puts in language that people understand. elevator talk. client talk.
11. ----- Meeting Notes (6/27/13 12:38) -----how do i do discovery? Is everything a neat little box. I move from discovery. to design. to development and everything just goes swimmingly?
12. ----- Meeting Notes (6/27/13 12:38) -----it's a big mess of crazy who knows what, and when we're done, it's a beautiful, functional tool. It's a thing that adds to peoples lives. IT's a thing that adds value to the world. so pick your 4 steps. give it a name. patent it. whatever. that's not what's going to set you apart. It's how you exectute. IT's your magic discovery dance that you do.
