• "Design must be worked with seriously in order to win respect. Functional design processes, profound culturally connected trend insights and knowledge about human behavior is paramount. Something is wrong when design in some scenarios has become something viewed upon as a major source of pollution. This is applicable to designers but above all, producers." - David Carlson, David Report

  • Design = problem solving
  • A Brand must insert itself meaningfully into people's lives by
    • enabling and enriching their existing behavior
    • NOT requiring new ones.
