"Try to be who you are and don’t worry about having a different style from others. Your originality will eventually earn you admittance to a bigger world."
Studio Dumbar (Seoul, South Korea / Rotterdam, The Netherlands)
"The most important part of starting out on a design career is to gauge the mind of the company you are working for: what is its spirit and quality level, how much room for development do you get? It’s all about finding the right place. Apart from that, of course, building up experience abroad will always increase your value."
Josh Nimoy (San Francisco, USA)
"A good interactive design goes unnoticed by the user. This is different from interactive art. Most projects are a balance of these two things, and the design should be the part that doesn't make you think."
"A good interaction designer depends on a great inter-disciplinary team: no true interaction designer can work alone."
Jean-Christophe Naour (Seoul, South Korea)
"A good interaction designer is someone who creates interactive experiences that connect products to their users through inventive blends of technology and story-telling. Interaction design is all about the subtleties."
YesYesNo (New York, USA / Amsterdam, The Netherlands)
"What makes a good interactive designer is what makes you a good designer generally: iterating quickly, listening to the client, listening to yourself and trying to make intuitive and good decisions. In the case of interaction it’s about understanding interaction as a form of question, or even as a challenge to the user – and seeing that as a means of shifting their relationship."
