“Designers can show us a better future, can present us with all kinds of new possibilities so that we can decide: Is this what we want? Before any of that can happen, though, the designer must first commit—by taking what is just a faint glimmer in the mind’s eye and giving it shape and life.” – Warren Berger

This quote is from Warren’s article “Four Things I’ve Learned About Designers.”

1. Designers stand between revolutions and everyday life.
2. Designers exist to come in, assess what has been failing, and offer up solutions for the future
3. Good design produces something the world didn’t know it was missing
4. Good designers are open minded and comfortable with ambiguity
5. Design should do the same thing in everyday life that art does when encountered
