Note: “Great design” addresses the complex needs and desires of whole and sensitive human beings: emotional, cognitive, spiritual and physical. Deep design is in addition to all that!
Like deep ecology, the essence of deep design is to ask deeper questions from a systems perspective. Deep Design widens our circle of empathy, solves for context, brings the world into any problem to better ensure that whatever we design fits healthfully in the world. We passionately design “things,” but our focus is on the relationships between things.
“A good solution acts within the overall pattern the way a healthy organ acts within the body.”
“Most of our problems are caused by thinking differently than Nature works.”
