Unlike the pre-Internet era, we live in a world of information abundance. Constant push towards commoditization of niche products and services coupled with near zero marginal software cost is exponentially reducing to cost of composition and experimentation. The world today looks like a massively parallel and decentralized innovation engine that is accelerating constantly. Adapting and competing in this new world requires embracing uncertainty and change.
Thinking of design as a continuous search process is one of the ways to cope with constant change/innovation. Constructive search (build and evaluate) is one of the ways to address fundamental uncertainty in design as well as market space. My current pursuits are based on "design as search" and "constructive search" philosophy with the goal of further accelerating the pace of innovation by democratizing access to information and resources.
