Superintending Ambiguity

The design process is presented as a set of steps, but in practice, it rarely proceeds in this orderly fashion. The non-formulaic nature of the creative process is highlighted by Superintending Ambiguity. This book teaches you to relinquish control by being flexible, inquisitive, and objective as well as resourceful, tenacious, and brave.

Francis K. Kitts, a designer, and educator encourage you to embrace uncertainty as you approach a creative project by using humor and simple instructions. They start by describing how the brain functions and why it tends to default to certainty. They then demonstrate how to let go of the urge for control and adopt a flexible strategy that focuses on the harmony between acting and adapting as well as the compromise between opposed ways to reach your goal.
