Hartmut Esslinger And The Great Designer Test

Hartmut Esslinger, founder of frog design,
shares his test for
finding great designers

“I apply a simple test with young students:
smash a teapot into pieces and
then hand out the glue.
Those who rebuild the teapot won’t make it,
those who create phantasy animals and spaceships will.”

Looking at the world
in a different way
is rare and valuable.
If you have such an employee on your team,
engage her.
They’ll give you solutions
you’ll never dream of.
