Such great questions and ideas. I love talking about the future with the people who will create it!

Drawing workshops with students are my happy place. This is my third time running my “Map Your Future” workshop at the Sutardja Center at UC Berkeley. It was a mix of majors, from Eng and Cog Sci to Business, Art History & Design, we all doodled, made maps and imagined the future.

In a country so deeply divided, isn't it nice to have something we can ALL agree on? #ReleaseTheFiles-BeginTheTrials ⚖️

Immediately skipping Gen X as a bit is absolutely nailing it.

SO good. And if you loved Piranesi, she writes about that too here: "...it is part of what I tried to write about in Piranesi: that there is a whole world endlessly going on, endlessly being beautiful, regardless of whether anyone is there to see it or not."

Hi Nico! The Sketchbook is a 9x9 Mixed Media Pad from the Bee Paper Company. The Pen is a Monteverde Ritma, which is my favorite new fountain pen in the world. It makes the best lines, uses standard cartridges and is surprisingly heavy. Plus I love its design! Walnut barrel and magnetic cap.

I’m planning an upcoming talk about growing little start-ups at a big company. Working title: Future Farming. Here’s what my outline looks like. I’m going with the gardening theme as an excuse to draw some watering cans and/or bees. - - - #designthinking #notes #ideas #startups

Those are monarch caterpillars! I just saw some recently in a public flower garden near me! I’m thrilled!

It would have distracted from the ornament and poppies! Just make a tarot set like this and call it a day. Or call it a kickstarter.

More effort? Short of turning this into a graphic novel, I think you’ve wrapped it up.

We start with the Challenge Mountains: What are all the big challenges you'll face and overcome along the way? What resources (time and money) will you need to accomplish your goal? What skills will you need to learn and build? Who are the people you need to join your adventure?

#99U Adventure Map! This was the main activity from my draw-along workshop at 99U last week. It starts with you at one end of the map and a big goal at the other, then you draw the map as you go.

#99u Level-Up! This was one of the “Map Your Imagination” activities from my draw-along workshop at 99u yesterday. Everyone drew themselves now, with their current awesome skills then imagined themselves 4 years in the future, after leveling-up to their future self. What skills have they learned?

Here’s a sneak peek at the activities for my “Map Your Imagination” Workship at the #99u Conference tomorrow. I’ll be providing no further explanation but maps will be mapped and possibilities will be imagined (with lots of doodling along the way)! #creativity #designthinking #maps

Excited for this! Many of you know what huge Moomin fans Pratchett are. We originally called Sam ‘Moomin’ on our baby cam app, but getting notifications saying ‘Moomin is crying’ was heartbreaking. www.theguardian.com/books/booksb...

Went through this in February with our 12 year-old. It happens so fast. So sorry for your loss, and thankful you were able to give Dexter so much love.
