First Principles of Design

Make better design decisions. Quickly.

This is a concise framework for judging work clearly — separating personal taste from purpose.

Built for junior designers, early-career creatives, and agency teams who want better conversations and stronger outcomes.

You will learn to:

  • Stop second-guessing your work by critiquing against purpose, audience, and constraints.

  • Identify the real problem behind a brief before changing colours or fonts.

  • Explain your decisions without sounding defensive.

  • Diagnose weak choices early.

  • Align creative, account, and project teams around shared criteria.
