Good Design Matters
Imagine creating things that are healthy for people, society and our planet. As designers we have to make this idealist hope a practical reality. IMAGINE ALL THE PEOPLE. Yes John Lennon, we do love you.
This is why good design matters. The most beautifully designed or conceived products is useless when it is not connected to what people really want or need. It may function as exciting gadget initially, but will soon be abandoned. These are the design graveyards. We must have people’s interest in mind when we design things so we can ensure it is meaningful to them. Merge that with commercial benefit, or stômething that is of benefit for your organization too, and you have a match. In today’s world design must create a good balance between what works for people, society as a whole as well as for the planet. Good designs must be desirable, feasible , viable and sustainable.
Creating healthy things for people, society and our planet is what matters to us. Achieving this together with you is our north star.
