Design

It’s a wide-ranging discipline. The focus of this site is on the front-end of the web but my design inspiration is drawn from numerous sources. I think it’s in looking outside our areas of expertise and practice that we can often take our most valuable lessons.
Design processes usually entail decisions made on the basis of subjective opinions and experience. If good design is our goal, what we hope for is that the people whose subjectivity shapes the product are people who have devoted time or careers to understanding the questions and implications of their design decisions. At a fundamental level, of course, we need to define what design is and what ‘success’ entails for any product design project.
