EXPERIENCE LENS
Exceptional experiences must be exquisitely balanced among these 3 irreducible values. If only one or two of them are fulfilled within a given experience then you have something incomplete or worse, mediocre. We need to ask: Is it useable (does it work)? is it useful (does it actually provide value)? and finally is it a pleasure to use (does it have moments of delight)?
Meaning is designing with purpose, from mission to fulfillment, not just touchpoints, but through culture.
WORK TOWARDS MEANING
To make meaning, which is really to say, to make culture, is to make something memorable and indispensable. As designers, we need to find a way to dig deeper into emerging needs in order to make quantum leaps in customer experience and fulfill the promise of innovation and evolutionary design.
Uncertainty is an uncomfortable position, but certainty is an absurd one.
APPROACH
INNOVATION
I believe in fearless creativity. If I see a project limping along or going through the motions I will coax my team into magical thinking, or, if circumstances dictate, rigorous pragmatism. I believe innovation isn't simply a result of serendipity, but that it takes a culture, an internal purpose and a boundless ambition to transform it into practice.
RESEARCH
Whether it's consuming reams of industry trends or interviewing a target user on the street, I believe deeply in the insights that research can deliver. Research is directly tied to innovation. I believe the fidelity and magnitude of the insights from research match the fidelity and magnitude of you ambition. At it's essence, research is about validating and revealing core truths that move the experience forward.
