design

Product design is invisible. It is something that people should not be aware of. We do work that should not raise any questions. The user goes through the scenario step by step without noticing their journey, because it is easy for them.

“Limit everything to the essential but do not remove the poetry.”


— Dieter Rams, quoted in *Less and More: The Design Ethos of Dieter Rams*

when organizing my physical space, i ask myself questions about objects/spaces to reflect on how i interact with them. a question i instinctively ask first is "how (often) do i use \_\_\_?", the answer being a use-case and its frequency. in the last few days, i reframed the question as "how (often) do i referecne this?", which is similar in nature, but yields different, les usability-centric answers.



how does this relate to environment design for good rituals? how can a similiar reframing affect digital spaces?

Poor design meets one need while creating a dozen others. Good design resolves problems without negatively affecting anything else in its ecosystem.



We call this lens of thinking "systems thinking." It tends to separate the genuinely great designers from the pretty-great ones.

Design Principles

True minimalism, Chayka insists, is “not about consuming the right things or throwing out the wrong; it’s about challenging your deepest beliefs in an attempt to engage with things as they are, to not shy away from reality or its lack of answers.”

—The Pitfalls and the Potential of the New Minimalism , Jia Tolentino

People do not go to a website to admire it, but to get **something done**.

Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context: a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan.
