What is perfection? Is it a good thing? It is hard to achieve, for sure. And we as designers try to go down this road to design perfect products and experiences for our users. But is a perfect experience for our users really good – for them, for us, for the world? I want to take you on a journey from perfection to imperfection, and have a look at what perfection is, how it is achieved, why it might be a lot less perfect when you look at it from another angle, and why perfection might be an endless rabbit hole rather than a state we could ever achieve.
SUX Founder Thorsten Jonas writes about how we should shift from trying to achieve perfection to designing in balance with surrounding ecosystems and what we can learn from nature on this journey.
