The right questions + research = great start to a solid design process.
This is a good read for those who long to make new and interesting things. For me - the article describes what is simply a great start to a solid Design (with a big “D”) process. This approach offers meaningful contraints to solving problems or adding something delightful to the world.
I love the path of heuristic discovery that leads you to uncover an interesting fact no one person would have realized unless they followed their intuition and backed it up by validating that intuition through observation and play. This approach takes practice and the willingness to be wrong and spend time on things you will very likely throw away. The point is to learn and react so we can offer the world something more than a tchotchke.
