Episode 029 - How to Critique Your Wife’s Cooking with Adam Connor and Aaron Irizarry
Amanda and Scott double-rainbow Skype all the way across the sky continental U.S. with designers Adam Connor and Aaron Irizarry in an episode about critique. Adam and Aaron don’t work together, but they are both passionate devotees of critique as a life skill and have been touring a presentation they built together on the subject. We get into critique with clients, getting over the fear of being critiqued, showing your work early and often, and even, yes, how to critique your wife’s cooking (hint: time and place, time and place).
