I think the minute you get up out of bed and decide whether or not to make the bed that’s a design decision. And it reflects how you use your time and what your values are, and what you want to communicate to your self every time you walk pass by that open door.
I think design is a universal function whit in life. I think that we constantly making decisions about our environment and how we communicate and how we dress that are design decisions. What we often don’t do is approach it consciencly, and I think that that’s when design really becomes exciting and when it really becomes a tool, when you begin doing it in a very conscience and critical way. Design is thinking, design is looking at the world and wondering why things don’t work and often the answer lies within design”.
