This week we hung out with Marissa Louie - a rather prolific designer, activist, and creator who has worked on many of our favorite products at places like Apple, Yahoo, Ness Computing, and Wanelo, among others. We discussed everything from teddy bears to social justice - and the profound impact of emotional design.

If you have feedback or suggestions please don't hesitate to reach us on Twitter at @designdetailsfm or email us directly!
