Design Islands is a project dedicated to concepts that never were, wild iterations, forgotten illustrations, and lessons learned. Too often we see polished case studies with all-star results, but what about everything that happened along the way? Our motivation was to open up our files, folders, and doors to inspire others by showing all that goes into designing products. This project continues above the online platform because it's imagined to be active well of new topics and content that we can discuss with the design community.
