“The typical understanding of design is that it’s about aesthetics, styling, or form. This is a limited view. While these are often the tangible outputs of design work, such artifacts are meaningless if they don’t somehow engage a new activity. The measure of success for design is the degree of its impact.” – Peter Merholz
Peter’s quote is from the article “Customer Experience Is an Investment, Not a Cost.”
