I'll probably raise and professionalize the level of how I talk about design, and I believe that is a way of getting design further, though for most designers it's a way of distancing yourself from the actual design. But in order to develop my field, I must look at my design in a meta-perspective. What is a design process, and how do we work? Only by looking at design from a different perspective, can make us able to change it. Though to be able to change anything at all, I need to communicate what I do to others. That's why I'm writing on this blog. I don't want to "hide" my future academic articles in forums where only a very limited number of people can access them easily.
During these three years, I get to read, think, work and develop new ideas on a theme I find very interesting, and at the same time useful to the society (at least that is my ambition). That is actually a very important aspect for me – I need to feel useful in some way. And I want to push our society a bit further, in a direction that I believe in.
