Creative Acts for Curious People Quotes

“Designing is not a profession but an attitude…[it should be] transformed from the notion of a specialist function into a generally valid attitude of resourcefulness and inventiveness.”

“It is very hard for people to relate to a complex system in a personal way. However, doing so is important for anyone who is trying to use creative approaches to fix or remake many of the systems that shape daily life; for instance, health care, government, education, and beyond. Designing a system is such an abstract idea that you need ways to provoke a deep inner understanding of that system. You need to stretch yourself to relate to it emotionally and intuitively. With better context and empathy, you will ask better questions, embrace more humility, and make better decisions about your design work.”
