The design practice in conjunction with the business context puts us in a particularly interesting position of bringing the customer to the work process, but in an abstract, distant way; identifying pain points, while continuing to build on top of existing paradigms. We start looking at our work, and at the world in general, in an incredibly specific way — named here as The Designer’s Gaze. 

From our first encounter with the design process, we’re taught to observe with the intention to identify ‘problems’ that can be solved. This is the beginning of the designer's gaze: looking at the world around us not with the intention to understand, but with the intention to solve.

Make me think

Mobile-First CSS: is it time for a rethink? →
“The mobile-first design methodology is great—it focuses on what really matters to the user, it’s well-practiced, and it’s been a common design pattern for years. So developing your CSS mobile-first should also be great, too…right? Well, not necessarily.”

Influencer culture is everywhere — even in academia →
“In the persistent wake of the pandemic, the pressure for scholars to self-promote has only intensified. Starved for opportunities to share our latest findings at in-person conferences, we take to Twitter, Instagram, or perhaps our email signature to hype our new books and articles.”
