Interview with Petr Staníček

A good designer knows it all, and the role of a designer can be complicated. They have to satisfy everyone around them from employer to new users who still don't know a thing about their product. At the same time, they can't allow too much "chatter" into their designs. Democracy doesn't belong in design. On the other hand, when something goes wrong, it's on them. 

What can you do to manage in this environment? What forms of cooperation and communication work best? How do you set mutual expectations? 

This interview with Petr Staníček will focus on selected chapters from his book, A Good Designer Knows It All, as well as his new experience at VIGO Group (Direct Insurance), where he is currently putting together a design team with whom he will design new products that people will love and enjoy using.
