George Kembel is cofounder and currently executive director of Stanford University’s d.school, which has emerged as a leader in the teaching of “design thinking.”

In Glimmer: Kembel gives readers a crash course in how to solve all kinds of problems using a circular design method that allows you to “begin anywhere.”

Quote: “At first, students tend to see how these principles of empathy and prototyping apply to a few projects. But gradually it becomes a way of looking at the world, as they start to apply it to other parts of life. It goes from being a methodology to a mind set.”
