There’s an unspoken truth in design that almost no one wants to admit:
A huge part of the job is just making things look good. That’s it. That's the core.
But somewhere along the way, we became afraid to say that out loud. So we built an entire layer of performance around design (frameworks, titles, systems, etc).
When a client asks me, "Why did you do it this way?" my honest answer is usually, "Because it looks good." Because it feels right. Because it creates the experience I wanted.
But in today's design community, that answer would come across as irresponsible and unprofessional.
We're expected to be able to defend every pixel like they were the result of years of academic research, when in reality it was simply the result of taste.
But taste is too subjective, too illusive, too unmeasurable to package up so we wrap intuition in paragraphs of theory and call it a case study.
This is why I rarely talk about “design” as a discipline. The moment you try to intellectualize it, you lose the thing that actually matters.
Design isn’t complicated. People complicate it to defend their importance.

Twelve days ago, I had dinner with President Trump, a dinner that my friend @KidRock set up because we share the belief that there has to be something better than hurling insults from 3000 miles away.

Good times tonight. Luckily I was able to get off the train around 10pm.
