What have you designed lately and what does it say about you?

Over the weekend I watched this very cool TED talk on what your designs say about you. (For me it gets good at about 8:15 in.) Great design starts with a problem statement and then proposes a solution. The basic idea of this talk is that what you design, the way you solve the problem represents your values and ideals — it presents your vision of the good life. In solving a problem, you make certain things easier and other things harder — through intention or by omission. You assume many things about your customers, how they will engage with the solutions you have built and what they will value/the benefits they will enjoy when they use your design. This is true of companies, products and services and in each case thoughtful, detail oriented problem solving that puts the consumer first speaks most clearly.
