About Me

Design language, design systems, ethics in design, infographics & data visualization design, mindfulness & origami The Too Hard Basket is an independent think tank dedicated to solving the problems of modern-day society. In many fields of endeavor, innovators and geniuses excel by combining lateral thinking abilities with expert knowledge in their field to solve complex problems. At TTHB, we catalyze and pioneer the creation and generation of novel and inventive solutions by simulating these two qualities by working with experts from both within and outside the problem domain. TTHB can take high-quality, original ideas from our clients to help them develop and grow into viable businesses or generate new ideas for businesses and industries to benefit their operations. We recognize the serendipitous nature of ideas, and that links between concepts don’t always occur as they are planned for, and this is why we operate on an organic business model. In other words, we put the ideas and the teams together according to your business solution needs.
