Models are very good at busy work but not at the actual ideas and design thinking, so good ideas are the currency these days.

the models are really really good at doing the sort of busy work of moving things around and piecing things together and turning ideas into different formats, but they're not so good at the actual ideas and the design thinking. And so what I can do as a designer is I found that I spend a lot more of my time just like going on long walks and like recording voice notes and like thinking to myself because the good ideas are the currency these days.
