About Fail Better Talks:
It's daring to take risks in design, and talking about them when it all goes pear-shaped is even more ballsy. Fail Better Talks gives voice to 4 intrepid speakers; students, tutors and working designers to speak candidly of the worst work they've ever created and, more importantly, what they've learned from it.
