Paying Better Attention to the Problem
We’re in a “solving” culture. We’re transfixed on solutions and glorify the solution. That means we’re not paying much attention to understanding the underlying problem — so we design accidentally for our own perspective. But by focusing on purpose, we’ll let other perspectives in and become better equipped designers.
