Back to Basics | Ten Principles for Good Design

What is design? Why design?

 

As the world goes mobile, people are carrying more and more mobile devices with them. You must have experienced something like this: running low in battery, we’re looking for power source all the time in everyday life, whether it’s for work or travel. And the most embarrassing thing is: you can only charge one mobile device from one outlet.

 

Design is about finding a problem and solving it. Power adapter is a daily necessity that should be readily accessible. Through continuously observing people’s everyday life and focusing on consumers’ experience, MiLi has launched a new series of smart charging products.
