We all fail. It's a part of becoming better at what you do. It's about owning your failures which pushes you to try again and eventually succeed. In an environment where feedback and constructive criticism is vital to the success of a design/product, it is imperative for designers to learn how to deal with failure in a positive way. This talk will address these points and provide you with personal perspective into the world of failure, from my own experiences.
