As a product builder over too many years to mention, I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve seen promising ideas go from zero to hero in a few weeks, only to fizzle out within months.

YOU can sometimes let your expectations get ahead of you when you go somewhere you’ve always wanted to visit — but it was the exact opposite when I travelled to marvellous Marrakech.

I certainly wasn’t disappointed.

Ever since I was a boy, I’ve been fascinated with movies. I loved the characters and the excitement—but most of all the stories. I wanted to be an actor.

But they never went any further. I did, however, end up working in user experience (UX).
