When creating something new, it’s easy to get swept up in the thrill of technology and mechanics, to rush and say, ‘It works!” But don’t forget the people. As designers and makers, we must invent for the deeply complex creatures that we are, constantly asking ourselves if we are improving the human experience in all that we make.
