What is "design" for you?
My philosophy of accessible design is simple: Designs are for everybody, regardless of personal limitations.An effective design should be usable by everybody who uses your product.Design has the amazing quality that it is not only a means of visual communication but, used in the correct way, it can shock, stun and captivate.
What is your favorite material / platform / technology?
My new found favoritism in technology has been wearables. I always fascinate how well we as an evolving race can incorporate wearables in our daily lives to make it truly mainstream and useful for everyone.
When do you feel the most creative?
I feel the most creative and I would rather say productive while brainstorming with other fellow designers over a particular design strategy. Opening up to
When judging a design as good or bad, which aspects do you consider first?
I evaluate on the basis of how usable that design is in the target market and demographic. For example, if the product is aiming for people who are middle-aged and live in areas where high speed internet is scarce then the product obviously has to perform really well in offline conditions.
From your point of view, what are the responsibilities of a designer for society and environment?
A designer can always serve as a bridge to the ever growing gap of problems and technology which can be used to solve them effectively. Designer has to remember that the solutions can be really simple and no solution is the best solution but the most appropriate solution based on the scenario it is applied in.
How do you think the "design field" is evolving? What is the future of design?
Design in the chameleon-colored world of technology is still young. t’s an exciting time to be a designer in technology. Designers in future will be expected to craft end-to-end experiences rather than just interfaces; product and services that can be contained entirely within the screens will be outliers rather than the norm.
How long does it take to design an object from beginning to end?
It's highly subjective and really depends on how vast the scope of the problem statement is.
What is the most frequently asked question to you, as a designer?
Not kidding, "Are UX and UI the same?" and I end up answering everytime absolutely not.
