Design is more highly valued than ever, but in many ways it’s still considered a “junior” discipline to its peers. Why is that? And what can be done to remedy this situation? In this talk, Adobe Inc. Principal Designer Khoi Vinh argues that design has built a rarefied culture and obscure language that, though initially useful, has inadvertently limited what the profession is capable of.
