Yves Béhar: Good design accelerates the adoption of new ideas

/

"Start with questions, not answers," says visionary designer Yves Béhar in this in-depth 99% Conference talk on his seven principles for "holistic making."

"Start with questions, not answers," says visionary designer and Fuseproject founder Yves Béhar. He is the creator of the Jawbone headset and the $100 laptop and in this presentation shares the seven principles that define his unique approach to the design process. His vision is one of "holistic making" in which the designer is involved from beginning to end -- from defining the business model to designing the product to manufacturing to marketing. By "being there all the way," Béhar believes that designers can create great products and accelerate the adoption of new ideas.
