Design has two essential purposes: to create products and services that enrich our lives, and to establish and nurture trust between users and the brands behind them #designedfortrust
One measure of a digital designer is if their work still exists on the Internet 1–, 5–, 10-years from when it launched and if it still looks good and performs well

"We don't rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training" —Archilochus
Design studies are little windows that let you peer into the future of what a design will eventually become. They appear as fragments of a fully resolved design. Yet, they are low stakes and disposable. Tiny trials and errors. Design studies always leave you wanting to see more.
