Design schools must teach not just students but also politicians and entrepreneurs about the importance of design in creating a better world.

Designers can influence politicians, but we cannot change the world alone; we need collaboration with entrepreneurs.

Designers should always strive to be better and not settle for being good enough.

Design should not be for its own sake; it must solve real problems for users.

Designers must be honest in their work, focusing on simplicity and eliminating unnecessary elements to create meaningful products.

Designers should advocate for users, ensuring that products address not just the ideal cases but also the edge cases that often lead to dissatisfaction.

The goal of design should be to bring order to chaos and create something that genuinely improves lives. When developing products, people often focus on easily measurable attributes like cost and speed, which can overshadow the contributions of design and creativity that are harder to quantify.

As designers, we need to look beyond our own companies and understand what industries are developing new materials and technologies.

Empathy is a key trait to look for in designers; they should listen to your needs rather than focus solely on their own ideas.
