Jane Goodall, what a legend. Paved the way for primatology, conservation, women in science, and being a badass in all ways.

She visited the zoo many times, but I was always backstage working. also, c'mon Staci, you could have been cool that one time

In a world of AI everything, what does craft still have to offer?
In her new blog, Becky Scheel shares why making with care and embracing constraints became the theme of this year’s Practice Week at Harmonic.

“Constraint is not the enemy of creativity; it’s the medium.”

My orangutan collaborator passed away this weekend, and I wanted to share some lovely facts about Elok and orangutans...

Elok, like many artists, was inquisitive, a bit shy, but ultimately, once he got into the swing of things, was pretty much in his zone.

Now they’re sharing what those lessons mean for service design today.

So proud to co-author this piece with my friend Leah Berg—drawing from our work in zoos, aquariums & museums to explore equity in public service design 🐠📚

And a joy to collaborate with Diana Keane + Richland Library, who are redefining what libraries can be.

Because of my job, I get less time to listen to @kexp-feed.nvm2u.com

But I put it on today, and now I am doing a muppet dance.

P.S. the new Car Seat Headrest is sounding fantastic, and it's a Radiohead day 🤯
