...design is about solving problems. Problems come in all shapes. We don't
reinvent the universe with every new problem. We rethink the solution path
in context.

I thought the framing of the problem as "experiential creativity" was
fundamentally wrong. If we are not being creative in solving *any* problem,
then we're not working hard enough (cf. iPod, Google, etc).

"Best practices" is what SOMEONE ELSE DID. Creativity is what YOU DO.

Oil and vinegar.

The ONLY issue in design is: does it solve the problem? Whether it's
experiential, creative, pedestrian, boring, revolutionary, etc., is
immaterial. Does it solve the problem? If we focus on that, the rest comes
very easily.
