Why Design?

Here is what design is all about: making things better than they were before. Identifying something that is not working, going deep into the problem, exploring potential solutions to fix it, and then deciding which one of the solutions works best to the goals of the project.

Industry experts tend to use a lot of jargon when talking about design — in some cases as a way to protect their position of specialists. Hopefully, as you grow into your career as a designer, you are not going to perpetuate that same type of practice.
