“We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking that created them.” -Albert Einstein

Problems demand new approaches and encourage perspective shifts in design thinking. When we push the status quo, disagree on the use of conventional approaches, or take the narrow path of discovery, then we find amazing solutions and new ways of thinking.
