Adam Nagy shares more about his approach to design.

How would you describe your design research?

I ask a lot. Talking to a business owner, a factory or a retailer can also give a designer great value, therefore I try to meet as many people from the supply chain as possible. These talks lead to more talks and more insights about the given subject.

How do you know if a product is well designed?

A well designed product is well balanced on the edge of evolution and revolution.

What is your biggest design career moment?

You never know how far an idea will get you. There are many lovely moments related to every projects. These can mean travelling around the globe, seeing someone using a product you designed or making friendships with clients. These are all great career moments.

Design school never ends, at least for great designers. How do you learn and grow your knowledge and expertise? 

I try to get insights from different fields. I love reading about science, arts and even economics. I think all of these fields have a huge impact on design. Tools can be learned easily but understanding human nature and culture takes a lifetime.

If you could describe your corporate culture in three words, what would you say?

Friendly, Curious, Optimist
