it’s not about being safe or doing what has been done before

it’s not about following a grid, map, or way of doing things

it’s about new terrain, a different path, being unexpected, and scaring the hell out of people (Brand Gap)

need to be sensitive to how other disciplines define problems and solve them

the design process is not always the answer

working interdisciplinary with a team is about patience and listening

working alone on a interdisciplinary project involves looking at the problem from different perspectives including different processes for solving that problem

when working with a diverse team you must find a common language, which often is bits and pieces of various disciplines

the goal is something that has never been done before, so the process is like no other and unique to the dynamic group who is building it

you should have a toolkit of ways to generate ideas but know that the dynamic of the group will always shift from what you are comfortable and familiar with

as an individual you are most successful with innovation the more you dive into diverse mediums and thought processes. you bring fresh eyes to the medium and subject matter
