LIA Cast 53 - Self-Learning Skillset: Research

Why do we need to understand how to research? In this episode of the Lean Into Art Cast we work through the uses, reasons, and strategies of applied research for creative projects.

We get into tools we use for our writing, drawing, and interactive project research. We go way beyond: "Can’t we just Google it?"!
