design everything quote

If you can design one thing, you can design everything

“If you can design one thing, you can design everything.” — Massimo Vignelli

That’s true.

When you are designing an experience, you are following a process. That process is the guideline for you to complete the design.

When you start designing, you get an understanding of the problem, you work with your users to understand their needs, and you start collecting ideas and sketching them on paper, board, or digital tools. 

You get feedback from your users and then finalize your design. Thus, you follow a path from the concept to completion and create a beautiful design that provides the best experience to your user.

What did you learn from this exercise?
