Designers ask, “How Might We?” "The 'how' part assumes there are solutions out there — it provides creative confidence," 'Might' says we can put ideas out there that might work or might not — either way, it's OK. And the 'we' part says we're going to do it together and build on each other's ideas.“ Tim Brown
