Nike Design Exploration Presents:
Explore Without Boundaries Episode One Unafraid to Fail
Unafraid to Fail
In the first episode of the new series Explore Without Boundaries, host Samuel Ross examines what it means to be unafraid to fail. Ross, the creator of fashion house A-COLD-WALL*, is joined by iconic Nike designer Wilson Smith and current ISPA vanguards Niek Pulles and Shamees Aden for a frank and illuminating conversation on the nature of exploration, and why sometimes failure can lead to greater successes.

Error doesn’t really exist; it’s an essential part of the process of what we do as designers. When you take your own personal background and experiences and put them into the work, amazing things happen.
