I was there too, and gained plenty of insights during the workshop. I love how approachable and Dan is and how he's not all up himself- like you said, the kind of impression we seem to get from most successful designers.The points he makes are very true concerning the need for true design research and not designing for the average person...it's probably where most industrial design goes wrong! Concerning our approach to design, this workshop has definitely proved to me how conservative and backwards we are in Australia. Hopefully by spreading Dan's approach to a local audience (like at DD), people will finally get thinking. Fantastic recount of the workshop!
