"Design is a craft because it is neither science nor art, but somewhere in between.” - Kimm Goodwin, Designing for the Digital Age"

“…Science is about understanding how the universe works and why it works that way. Design, while it is informed by scientific learning about human senses, cognition, and ergonomics, focuses on understanding only to the extent that it is necessary to solve the problem at hand. Art is about creating an end product that, above all, expresses the inner vision of the artist. Design is not about expressing the designer’s point of view, but very much about creation.”

I can’t say I completely agree, but it does bring up some important concepts. Currently I’m being swayed as a designer to become a scientist. Yet, I feel i have this internal vision I must carry out. So in the end I’m back as a designer, but not because I want to be in the middle, but because I want to be a scientist and artist at the same time.
