Design

Giving objects, systems, and experiences a form within an intention and constraints. Design involves choosing which problem deserves attention and for whom.

When it meets other fields.

Design translates between technical possibilities, behavior, and needs. A decision about form can also change use, cost, or understanding. Its intersection with technology and business lets us examine the relationship between what can be built and what deserves to be built.

A way to begin.

Choose an everyday task and build two ways to perform it. Observe someone trying both before explaining your intention. Record where their experience contradicts your assumptions.
