To design something really well you have to get it. You have to really grok what it’s all about. It takes a passionate commitment to thoroughly understand something… A lot of people in our industry haven’t had very diverse experiences. They don’t have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions, without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one’s understanding of the human experience, the better designs we will have.
