Aspire to Be Mundane
I've always been an observer, often with people as the focus...
How they interact with the world around them, how they approach problems, how they broach social interactions, how they feel about these interactions...
Design can either support these interactions (usually the simpler, elegant or more mundane ones) or hinder them. I don't believe anyone can claim they “design the interaction” or “design the experience.” I believe you can provide an experience or interaction structure to people - they will “use” that structure however they see fit... maybe exactly as the design or designer intended...or maybe quite unexpectedly. Both have client and business impact - good or bad.
