Episode Synopsis
Affordance, is a word that is thrown around a lot in Design. But what does it actually means, and how do you approach it as a designer?
We don’t see things as they are. We see things as we are! - Anaïs Nin? Babylonian Talmud? Immanuel Kant? G. T. W. Patrick? H. M. Tomlinson? Steven Covey? (We do not know who said this)
