For anyone who follows Note to Self, you may be surprised to see this side of things. Pulling images keeps me inspired, learning about fashion keeps me connected, graphic design keeps me and my work sharp, but design management challenges my thought process every day, and makes me passionate about the future of business and brand development.
As I have come to understand it through both study and practice, design management is a holistic approach to the consideration of a problem. It is a dynamic discipline that showcases an ability to apply a multi-disciplinary working knowledge of design intuition. Its processes take stock of "what is" in order to inform "what could be." Its final solutions match the needs of a user with the ambition of an endeavor. It delivers a transparently designed product, service, or experience that is both honest and relevant through intentionality.
My name is Sarah. I graduated from Union College (NY) with a BA in Art History and Visual Arts in 2007. I'm currently a MFA candidate in Design Management at Savannah College of Art and Design.

this is an interesting idea. i kind of agree with him, but in a way i don't know if it applies to design as a discipline, completely.
in terms of design, it is not "taste" thing alone. i think it's more that you have "taste" but to gain virtuosity you need to learn to actually solve problems, not just look at the cosmetics or the style.
i think what i would say to younger designers or people starting out would be more about exploring the gratification in creating something of beauty, cosmetically...but developing, over time, the ability to truly engage in a thoughtful with other people via your work. I suppose that is the *grace* of work.
For me, as a young designer it was never my taste that disappointed me about my work. It was that my work did not have the levels of meaning, or the elegance of more seasoned designers' work. That just took practice.
