In most projects, people only ever see the end result. We’re expected to come up with a work of art right out of the gate. We may intellectually know that this is not possible but we don’t always set things up so we can improve incrementally. Ricardo shares what he’s done with his teams to help maintain a certain level of craftsmanship. From finding allies to the importance of beauty.
