Tino Chow is a Problem Solver

ycdi·di (You can do it, do it)

This week we join Tino Chow, founder of Giant Shoulders — a design agency that delivers impact at the intersection of innovation and design — for a conversation about design, brand, solving hard problems, and the importance of embracing failure. Tino is a designer, entrepreneur, problem solver, speaker, and former TED fellow. We discuss his journey from a teenage military officer in Singapore, to a sought after design consultant, and everything that's happened in between.

Topics include design as method of problem solving, building brands, growing businesses, crafting communities, and focusing all of your successes and failures to make something awesome.

Show Notes

• Design as a method of problem solving
• Design as a system, not a deliverable
• Being an 18 year old Singaporean officer
• Minimum viable brand
• Freelance as the future of work
