Overheard:

The question for [design and engineering] to ask is, “Who are we solving this problem for?” And then, “How do we know we’re really solving that problem or not?” Too often it’s easy for designers and engineers to solve designer-y problems and engineering-y problems, respectively. This happens the better one gets at their discipline — it’s a constant struggle to stay close to the problem, instead of hanging closer to just “the discipline.”
