What Makes a World-Class Product Designer?

### Why This Matters
Everyone throws around the term world-class design like it’s some secret club—but who’s actually defining it? What makes something undeniably great, not just today, but a decade from now?
Most designers obsess over the latest trends, but let’s be real—nobody remembers last year’s UI fads. The real question is: What won’t change? What makes a design so damn good that it outlasts hype, trends, and fleeting attention spans?
Forget what’s changing, focus on what’s always true—this is the conversation we should all be having.
### What We’re Talking About
What makes a design iconic?
— Why do some things get better with time while others die in the archives?
World-class or just overhyped?
— Which designers (living or dead) actually set the bar for excellence?
Forget trends. What’s the real standard?
— Can we create a framework for design that lasts?
Would your work survive a decade?
