Thrilled to collaborate with the maverick business leader Azmina Poddar ( Azyoulikeit ) for her debut book on design. “Designers are Oxymorons" explores the paradoxes and contradictions that define the world of design. Through the lens of poetry and typography, this book offers “open secrets” from years of experience, nudging designers to embrace the complexities of their craft with grace and courage. It's a celebration of the oxymoronic nature of design, a reminder that within these contradictions lie the seeds of innovation and creativity. #AI #DesignThinking #Creativity #Acquisition
