In conducting design work, I think of it as a puzzle. You must know the final image. You must start somewhere, often working section by section in tandem. As you work there’s a constant comparison, does this fit? Does this match the final image? Especially in collaboration, it’s crucial to know whose puzzle it is, and allow the pieces to be created in service of the final image. This is how I practice design: with thought, empathy and diligence.
