Lauren Celenza is a senior designer at Google. For the past two years or so, she has been helping to shape the design of Google Maps to better fit the needs of emerging cities around the world, in places like Kenya, Southeast Asia, and India. THE QUESTION: “What impact has travel had on your work?” THE NOTES: Not many will argue that travel is an eye and mind opening experience. Obviously, expanding your vision is valuable to anyone working in a creative capacity. In my conversation with Lauren Celenza, we discuss some specifics. Including how to involve the people you’re designing for more directly in the design process. She shares with us stories from her travels across six contents, insights about design research, and some tips for enhancing travel so it can elevate your creative thinking.
