“Our opportunity, as designers, is to learn how to handle the complexity,
rather than shy away from it, and to realize that the big art of design is to make complicated things simple.”
Tim Parsey

Design Review
OO&C runs a review service, the goal is to challenge and push the design further. “when you only include people who are familiar with the design, you don’t get the advantage of fresh perspective and ignorance. The most dangerous phrase during a design review is ” this is how we always do it.” The review team should be able to question and push on the design.
Potential clients are advised not to shy away from peer review, the benefits are enormous. ” Design reviews are certainly a place to do good. They are a great way to crush evil design defects. The focus is on the design decisions that have been made and the analysis validates those decisions. Everyone’s feedback is important.
The feedback from the design review are prioritized and turned into actionable items to be addressed for the next design milestone. Design reviews help teams access designs in a collaborative and dynamic setting and help assess design decisions and continuity in addressing the requirements of a project. This is where the client benefits, it’s a win win for the project owner.
“Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.” – Steve Jobs
