Design is a natural phenomenon that frequently occurs in our everyday lives. From taking notes in a Zoom meeting to choosing a look to go out.
You may not see that, but what's happening in your brain when you do those things actually is a kind of intrinsic designing act.
It may take a while to envision this: design is not just a tool. Actually, it goes far in history. All strategies to shape cultural imagination, to evolve technology and to give meaning to life included the stir of multidisciplinary thoughts, and of course, multidisciplinary skills. What's design today but that? It takes a many-in-one brain capable to go beyond, or better, go lateral.
Designing requires more than talent, it requires vision. To see beyond the primary social interactions of our lives, beyond the culture products we consume and beyond where we live.
The first step to design is not mastering softwares, it’s coming out of your comfort zone.
There is, in fact, an evergreen natural law that helps designers through the eras: social bubbles always burst.
