Think Visual Houston with Kailey Euceda: the Value Stream
Most of us were taught to keep our spreadsheets away from our sketchbooks. Turns out that's exactly the problem.
At this month's Think Visual! Houston Meetup at the Ion, Kailey Euceda — technologist, product developer, and visual artist known as "Gali" — made a compelling case that innovation doesn't slow down because people lack ideas. It slows down because the ways we know things stop talking to each other.
