Good design is design that changes behavior for the better

DTOD: “Good design is design that changes behavior for the better. I think it needs to take into account the context of the environment, of the human condition, the culture and then attempt to make the things you do—make us do them better, make us do better things. It encourages us to change the way that we live.” – Jon Kolko

DTOD: "“As designers, we think through doing. Design is a reflective practice between the designer and her design materials. When you sketch something and commit it to paper, it moves from being an abstract thought to something that is more concrete and real. Perceiving this concreteness, in turn, influences your thinking, leading to new questions that spawn new ideas… It is the act of creating these design artifacts, rather than the artifacts themselves, that is the most valuable aspect of the design process.” – Dane Petersen

Designers are optimistic people who are trained to be courageous about future- and making the future happen

DTOD: Designers are optimistic people who are trained to be courageous about future- and making the future happen. They aren't always of the intricacies of operations and impact of the solutions they propose, just like entrepreneurs, but they aren't afraid of confronting a blank piece of paper (of screen or board) and getting to work something new. - Nathan Shedroff

There is no right answer to a design problem. There are only bad, good and better answers

DTOD: “There is no right answer to a design problem… There are only bad, good and better answers for the current situation. Each of the potential solutions sits within a particular context… To find the better answers for your design problem, you need to know the context it sits within. You need to know what you are trying to achieve, what a successful outcome is and what you have to get you there.” – Donna Spencer
