SELF ︎︎︎
The Individual


Bracken Darrell, former CEO of Logitech, describes three phases of design in business: aesthetics and form, end-to-end experience, and finally design embedded throughout the organization itself. I operate in the third phase.

            At that level, design shapes how organizations think, prioritize, make decisions, and create value. It influences systems, behavior, communication, and culture. Design stops being decoration and becomes part of the organization’s operating logic.

            Transformation begins by choosing a position clearly enough that the organization can commit to it. Distinctiveness requires exclusion. Focus requires discipline. At its best, design becomes generative. It creates new systems, new opportunities, and new ways for organizations to compete.
