What roles does a designer play?
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

Design is Inevitable

“Questions about whether design is necessary or affordable are quite beside the point: design is inevitable.
The alternative to good design is bad design, not no design at all.”
