Shane likes to play a game of Sudoku ($5) before heading to bed as a palette cleanser for his brain. He describes it as "taking a break before you go back to design, trying to not think of patterns and colors and designs." As a designer, he spends most of his energy in being creative and letting ideas flow, constantly thinking about colors, patterns, and silhouettes. To help him switch gears and relax, he turns to something more analytical and problem-solving. "There's no definition of a pattern when you're designing, but when you're playing Sudoku, it makes you focus on a certain number and it makes you focus on a certain pattern," he says.
Pro Tip: If he can't figure out a certain puzzle, he doesn't stress over it — he'll take a break and come back to it later. Stepping away from a problem for some time can help you figure out the solution when you're ready to tackle it.
