The Power of Spark

Over the past 30 years, extensive qualitative research across numerous studies has consistently shown that businesses that wholeheartedly embrace design outperform those that neglect it by a significant margin—typically around 200%.

The growing awareness of design’s pivotal role in successful organizations has sparked countless articles and theories. However, at its core, design should strive to accomplish three simple objectives: saving money, increasing revenue, and fostering valuable relationships.

Means to an end

In today’s design discussions, we often delve into topics like aesthetics, user-centered design, accessibility, minimalism, responsive and mobile design, as well as ethical and sustainable design. It’s essential to remember that these aspects are vital means to an end rather than standalone goals.
