Designing For Our Pocket-Sized World

Published

Designers tend to take things very seriously. Even their phones.

Today’s society exists with everything we want right at our fingertips, something you can easily access in a few clicks. The things we design-and, really, the objects we use everyday-have been changed by the smartphone and our pocket-sized world.
