About this Site
Design Thought Leader is dedicated to fielding compelling ideas in the practice and theory of design, whatever the discipline. This site is an extension of the thoughts on design section of the growing design webliography Design Feast.
In 2009, Design Thought Leader was redesigned as a blog, to better offer an ongoing collection of content that reflects the dynamic nature of design thinking. You can view the old site.
