The role of the designer is that of a good, thoughtful host anticipating the needs of his guests.

Have you ever been to a dinner party where the host served everyone the same food? No one would be happy with that outcome. Just like in a dinner party, designers need to anticipate their audience’s needs. It might seem simple to give your audience what they want, but there are so many factors that go into designing an amazing experience for your users.
Creating a design for something is always an exciting process. With your creativity and imagination, you can create something that will be used by someone else every day. There are many different ways to approach this process. Some designers prefer to think of what they’re designing in terms of the user experience while others might be more focused on the aesthetics. Either way, it’s important to understand your strengths and what you want to get out of the project before you start anything.
Charles Eames is one of the most influential designers in recent history. He helped define the mid-century modern style and contributed some of the most iconic pieces of furniture of all time, including his world-famous “Eames Lounge Chair”.
