This document discusses the process of design through a series of principles: Design is a dynamic and collaborative process of nurturing a vision into reality. It involves experimenting with prototypes, representing ideas through various tools and media, and iterating designs through dialogue with co-designers. Designers take risks, embrace uncertainty, and look for surprises to spark new ideas and solutions to complex problems.
