In Praise of Really Bad Ideas by Debra Satterfield...

debrasatterfield: Have you ever had a bad idea? I mean a really, really bad idea? In design, we are always seeking that allusive transformational idea. The one that will change the world as we know it. But, for most of us, bad ideas seem a bit more plausible. Good ideas are ok, but they just don’t move us… But, if an idea is really bad, someone has to do something. It sort of serves as an...

Worthy of Good Design by Debra Satterfield

debrasatterfield: In experience design we talk a lot about user-centered design, usability, and participatory processes. And these things are truly important. We need to be aware of them and to respect the richness that they add to the design process. But one of the things that interests me in experience design is advocating for the people who can’t participate. Those people who don’t get...

Questioning and Thinking by Debra Satterfield

debrasatterfield: Experience design has greatly expanded the definition of what it means to be a designer. For me it was liberating to know that it’s ok to design everything. It reminds me of Howard Gardner’s concept of the multi-disciplinarian.
