“The curve that shows sales growth.”
The designer’s job is not just about creating beautiful visuals. Ultimately, their design work should contribute to company sales growth.

Designing for money may not sound right. But if you don’t think about how your designs will positively impact the company at all, then you don’t have the right mindset for a designer.
When you design something that doesn’t add value to the business, you’re designing something people don’t really care about no matter how pretty it looks.
DESIGN = DE$IGN
It always has been, and will continue to be.
GOOD DESIGN IS GOOD BUSINESS
