The world is already full of stuff; why do you make/design more?

... is the question! We got 645 votes all told for the top three interview questions and "The world is already full of stuff; why do you make/design more?" came out on the very top with 36% of the vote. Congratulations to Andrew who submitted that question and congrats too to Chris who submitted not just one, but the other two in the top three (34.9% and 29.1% respectively).

For a couple of weeks now we’ve been on the quest for the best interview questions. 25 questions were submitted and more than 1500 votes gathered. We then asked MoCo Loco readers to vote to determine which of the three final questions was the best. Here below are the final three questions in order of votes received:

1) The world is already full of stuff; why do you make/design more?

2) What two modern day conveniences can you not live without? How you would change/improve them?

3) Art Deco, Mid-Century, Post-Modern… is it possible to describe the ‘design’ era we're currently in?

Jimi™ wallet holds just the essentials: five cards, a few bills, and even has a detachable money clip if you need to go super slim”.

Thanks again to all who participated! Our first interview featuring these new questions will appear here shortly.

Congrats, Andrew! That's a great question (one I wrestle with almost daily), and a super-hot book. Feel good!

I like the difference, the world needs the differences.
