What We Learned

1. People overestimate and underestimate the importance of design.

They overestimate design by investing in resources that really don't matter. They underestimate design by not thinking of foot traffic, complementing colors, and lighting.

2. Think of design as a conversation

You want every conversation to be clear and the same is true in design. If it's not clear then you'll experience confusion.

3. Experiences don't always go as you expect; sometimes they go better

Aaron talked about this happening on one of his projects. They had originally planned on people interacting with a piece of art one way and they ended up interacting with it in a different, better way.
