Description
The one thing nobody tells you about pivots is how much they hurt. In fact, from years of experience in the trenches, I’d go as far as to say that if your pivots are not particularly painful, you’re probably not pivoting properly! This case study for Topology Eyewear challenges many popular assumptions about pivots, and provides four specific case study examples of major pivots we attempted. Both successes and failures are represented, with important learnings for intermediate to advanced LSU practitioners of all forms.
