The Value of Unresolved Design
Emergence is an intriguing design process. Allowing a structure to stand without interference is to accept an artificial world shaped by use. To clarify, it is not about what can stand and what should fall. Emergent design does not predict, it should not restrict, and could never explicitly instruct; instead,…

Strategic Visibility in Packaging Design–Manufacturing Teams
In packaging development, visibility is a finite resource. Not all information is useful to all people, all the time. Unmanaged transparency often slows progress rather than accelerating it. Strategic teams understand that how information moves – who sees what, when, and why – directly shapes cognitive load, professional relationships, and…

Heuristic Approaches to Design-Prototyping
In theory, everything can work – but in reality, failure is inevitable. Design flaws, however frustrating, are a natural part of progress. Striving for perfection is futile; it doesn’t exist. Nor can we reinvent production systems or fully control the logistics of short lead times. Manufacturing conditions are often static,…
