Life is more meaningful when you try to learn from it. And we’ve learned a lot of lessons over the years—about the creative process, making great work, pushing the boundaries of design and just being human. To celebrate St. Louis Design Week, we’ve spread some of our favorite lessons around the city. Take a look.
