TRAINING DESIGN SENSES

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Design judgment and taste must be deliberately trained through practice, not measured by years of passive experience in the field. This post outlines four trainable areas—observation, hand-eye dexterity, aesthetic fluency, and rhetoric—that build intuition through repeated, intentional effort. Genuine design intuition emerges from accumulated evidence of practice, not from time alone, and must be demonstrated through actual work.
