    Andrea Small & Kelly Schmutte ; paper artwork by Reina Takahashi ; photographs by Andria Lo.
    Summary: "This thought-provoking, compact designer's guide from Stanford University's Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (aka, the d.school) helps you learn to lean into the discomfort of turning creative thought into intentional design"-- Provided by publisher "A design process presents a series of steps, but in real life, it rarely plays out this neatly. Navigating Ambiguity underscores how the creative process isn’t formulaic. This book shows you how to surrender control by being adaptable, curious, and unbiased as well as resourceful, tenacious, and courageous. Designers and educators Andrea Small and Kelly Schmutte use humor and clear steps to help you embrace uncertainty as you approach a creative project. First, they explain how the brain works and why it defaults to certainty. Then they show you how to let go of the need for control and instead employ a flexible strategy that relies on the balance between acting and adapting, and the give-and-take between opposing approaches to make your way to your goal. Beautiful cut-paper artwork illustrations offer ways to rethink creative work without hitting the usual roadblocks. The result is a more open and satisfying journey from assignment or idea to finished product." -- Publisher's description
