Jon Delman: Navigate failure with kindness and curiosity

In today’s episode, I speak with Jon Delman. Jon is a Director of
Product Design at Twitter in San Francisco. He works within the
design and research team focused on internal tools and product
solutions. Jon offers tactical advice for young designers on how
to approach learning by embracing the courage to fail through his
article, Let it be a lesson to you, on Medium. He has over 20
years of professional design experience in both agency and
in-house environments, working with brands such as Google, Apple,
Splunk, and Samsung. Previously, he worked as Executive Creative
Director at ueno, Group Creative Director at Beyond, and a
Creative Director at Huge.  

We dive into how to develop the courage to fail while also how to
learn through failures to design your success, how you can weave
more kindness and curiosity into your work through joyful
relationships with others and yourself, as well as actionable
ways to pursue greater learning by acknowledging when you fail
and how to embrace your most authentic self.
