design thoughts

"While on the other hand, we have those who believe that although design undoubtedly has a problem-solving function, it also has a cultural and aesthetic dimension, and its effectiveness is enhanced, and not diminished, by personal expression"
"This pragmatic view of the designer's role doesn't hold true in other areas of design; we don't ask architects or fashion designers to suppress their personal voices - quite the opposite."
