Creating a great product is as much about psychology and understanding people, as it is about entrepreneurship and great design. In this talk I explore the relationship between value and great design; how you can go about finding problems worth solving, and how to create experiences that resonate with people. Talk first delivered at BOI Gears, Dublin, 27/5/16.
