These are some of the insights I have gained from reading, learning, and practicing design.
As a designer:
- Pay attention to subtle details.
- Look beyond spoken or written words.
- Seek hidden meanings, interpret emotions and experiences.
Develop the ability to see and perceive holistically.
- User Experience and Interaction Design is detail oriented but,
- Step out to see the BIG picture.
As a designer:
- Connect people. People want to interact with each other.
- Become the user. Do this to embody the user's passion, needs, etc.
Lastly, design well, design everytime.
