Show Notes
Andrew and Jay cover everything from the real meaning of 5S (and why people forget “shine”) to the subtle art of good UI/UX—both in software and hardware. Along the way, they share lessons learned from designing better shop tools, organizing workspaces, and reducing friction in daily tasks.
Andrew recounts how a Memorial Day spent reorganizing led to a color-coded system for trash bins, while Jay explains how constraints—not extra time—often lead to better results. They also discuss bringing on high school interns, building culture through curiosity, and how thoughtful design—like a volume knob that just feels right—makes work smoother and more human.
