Everything we use, from our homes to our smartphones, from highways to hammers, was designed by someone. How did they decide what was good for the rest of us? What did they get right and where have they let us down? And what can we learn from the way these experts think that can help us make decisions in our own lives?

This book teaches everyone:

• What good design is and why it’s so important
• How our lives are defined by designs, good and bad, made by others
• How to ask better questions of everything we buy, use and make

And it gives designers and makers:

• A fun and fast way to explain what we do to coworkers and friends
• A tool for making organizations more design mature
• Stories to use to be a better ambassador for good design
