An open process. The most valuable ideas are developed through experimentation.

I am not anti-design Design should be an open & flexible process of learning. Design should be collaborative by default.

The difference? The value is in the doing, not the idea.

The difference? The fact that you can design for other people.

Who are makers? Computer Scientists with an interest in products. too rarely Product designers with an interest in computer science.

Who are makers? People who understand the internet as a tool. too often People who understand the internet as a window display.

What does this have to do with diversity & accessibility? There are no limits. There is no landscape. There are no silos.
