Let’s talk about Design Philosophy.

Welcome to the third article of this series that focuses on designers in the team of one. After defining our Ambition and our Design Beliefs, we land on the first pillar that will be broadcasted daily through the designers’ attitude, motivation and delivered work — yes, it’s a Design Philosophy.

Philosophy

In ancient Greece, philosophy is described as the love of wisdom. A systematic study of general and fundamental questions concerning topics like existence, reason, knowledge, value, mind, and language. It is a rational and critical inquiry that reflects on its own methods and assumptions.

Design

A design is a concept of either an object, a process, or a system that is specific and, in most cases, detailed. Design refers to something that is or has been intentionally created by a thinking agent, though it is sometimes used to refer to the nature of something. The verb to design expresses the process of developing a design. In some cases, the direct construction of an object without an explicit prior plan may also be considered to be a design (such as in some artwork and craftwork).
