“The beauty of the design process is you don’t kno where you’re going.” – Es Devlin on TED Radio Hour: The Power of Spaces

The exhilarating unknown when working on a complex problem or creating something anew.

In a true design process, we are not certain what’s around the corner. This can be anxious but you know it has power.

These are the areas we ought to be charting into. Our future is not one with known answers but ones that are not yet discovered.

Design should lead us into the unknown and drive us towards solution.

I initially wrote about this idea but didn’t link “design” to this surprise motivated discovery until I heard Es Devlin talk on it.
