Jeremey had a neat way to go about solving a problem. He called it Dr. FARM:

• D Define the problem

• R Research other solutions, partial solutions, terminology

• F Function: what do I want it it do?

• A Appearance: what should it look like?

• R Risk: is anyone going to get hurt in manufacture and function?

• M Model: prototype the design
