Laura Kalbag @laurakalbag Inspiration
“Where do you get your inspiration from?”
it’s an odd question
What is inspiration?
where do you find the little seed of an idea
that grows into the creative solution to a problem?
None
Where do you pinch your best ideas from?
None

Researching solutions
every problem we solve through design is unique
similarities
when we’re researching solutions through the experience and ideas of
others, it’s like being back in art lessons again
None
the answers can’t all come from one place
Picasso The Lovers, 1923
Evolving resources
gaining confidence
the way we researched evolved
conscious decisions
conscious research
saving the details
the more experience, the greater the osmosis
The exceptions
None
I find myself needing to learn again
this time around
Design as a practice and process stays constant
We’ll always be able to apply skills of seeing, solving
problems and making decisions
We need to be smart about how we learn
Ensure we don’t fall back on the work of others
when we should be innovating for ourselves
