Design principles are often seen as very rigid and uncompromising guidelines that dictate design decisions and specific ways of working. But actually, they are an incredible tool to rally the team around one purpose, but also document values and beliefs that the organization embodies. It aligns teams and informs decision making.
Most importantly, it helps avoid never-ending discussions that are often a matter of preference or taste. But design shouldn’t be a matter of taste. Good design should solve real challenges. And we should be able to assess how well a particular design solves a particular problem. Design principles help us get there — and avoid debates that might not matter that much in the first place.
Do you have design principles established by your design team or your organization? Please leave them in the comments! 🙏🏽
