Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. famously said, If a man is called to be street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo pointed, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.
I grew up working my summers in a family construction business that my Dad started in the early 1970's. One of the first lessons Dad taught me was that there is an art to everything including digging a simple post hole or foundation footing. I'm more convinced of this than ever... Anyone can add, alter, delete, change, modify, or re-arrange any object,product,service, process, system, or environment in a manner that improves it. The understanding of this simple truth has picked up momentum around the world in the last decade and the positive impact is staggering.
Thru posts and numerous links around this blog I hope to explore the incredible variety of design applications and the processes that make creativity and innovation accessible for everyone.
