Nicole Jacek is the founder and creative director of NJLA, a research-based design consultancy in Venice Beach in LA. We talk about how she’s changed her work habits to get the most out of her brain, how she mixes collaboration and alone time, and how she’s been able to achieve a much larger impact with her work recently in approaching design as a force for cultural change.
