Show notes
Chris Noessel, UX veteran and many-time UX Podcast guest, joins us at From Business To Buttons to talk about randomness – a broad philosophical topic with a rich history and some interesting applications for creativity and design.
We move from tarot reading through haruspication to a 20th century French movement for constrained writing, and all the way to generative design and the definition of value.
