“For me the most compelling aspect of design is developing a concept that communicates to the client and respective audience/market. Design is an opportunity to connect with people, listen to their needs and deliver experiences which reflect positively on society and of course the designer. Design should inspire peoples and cultures to grow, transform and look to the future.” – Simone LeAmon

This quote is from designdroplet.com’s Q&A interview with Simone.

1. Every decision a designer makes molds the future of the people we design for
2. Designers exist to come in, assess what has been failing, and offer up solutions for the future
3. Designers are trained to be courageous about the future—and making the future happen
4. Design should put concerns for the planet equal to concerns for the user and the client’s bottom line
5. Great design is storytelling at its finest
