Great design has to answer great questions. I think that you have to start with empathy…..that idea that you have to see it from another person’s point of view before you can apply your own thoughts to a place. That’s what makes a design most intriguing. What I love about design is the process of unfolding and unpacking. Rarely do you find the right solution early on. It takes thoughts and ideas and drawings. Then you start over and repeat the process till you get that feeling that you’ve finally cracked the code.
