Long before I discovered design tools, my creativity was shaped by the nostalgic magic of my favorite 90s pastime..

Glued to the wooden box TV, totally engrossed in my favorite sitcom. That's where design magic happened for me! I loved how they tackled problems together, each character with their own quirks. The animation was captivating, the dialogue was hilarious, and best of all, it sparked epic reenactments with friends!

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and user experience design (UXD) share some surprising connections.

• Problem-solving

• User Journey Mapping

• Teamwork
