The article discusses the integration of insights from varied disciplines such as therapy into design practice. The author argues for a shift in design thinking, suggesting that lived experiences and interdisciplinary knowledge can enhance design approaches. Despite resistance from traditional designers towards this integration, the argument emphasizes that relevant training exists in personal experiences. The need for designers to face complex challenges and embrace their humanity is underscored, advocating for a decentralization of expertise in the design process.
"Designers, social innovators, and business leaders are now called to address transformational challenges for which we have no relevant academic or practice training... these challenges are fascinating, but not quite welcome."
"Existing in the design domain can sometimes feel incredibly frustrating, especially as complex challenges increase and traditional methodologies seem inadequate."
