Research makes or breaks a great designed work. Working for Peter Zak has greatly improved my research skills. Not only have I learned proper research methods and resources, but how to collaborate ideas with an employer from across the continent. We created a blog to entice and inform users of Peter's upcoming book that relates to empathy in design.
