<p>In May 2018 I had a convo with Jamie Myrold about design in the technology industry at 99u. I ripped the audio from the video and have added it here in podcast format. You can see it in full video form <a href="https://99u.adobe.com/videos/59401/john-maeda-designing-inclusive-teams-and-products">over on 99u</a>.</p>

S1 E2 of Aichaku Podcast / 2015 Design In Tech Event in Silicon Valley

Aichaku (ahy-chaw-koo) is the Japanese term for the sense of attachment one can feel for an artifact. When written by its two kanji characters, you can see that the first character means “love” and the second one means “fit.” “Love-fit” describes a deeper kind of emotional attachment that a person can feel for an object. It is a kind of symbiotic love for an object that deserves affection not for just what it does, but for what it is. And that is what Design is often mostly about.
