Chapter one — Eight gestures
One intention, carried by eight arms.
Notice, think, design, build. Test, refine, deliver, and nurture. The name eight arms is a promise to stay with each product from the first question to the life it has after launch.

Six distant lights.
Ideas refined in the deep return to the surface as useful tools.
