Mr. Whitney, the current dean of ID, understands design as the art of creating products by human beings.

Whitney has been committed to improving and perfecting the design itself. He always thinks that efficacy is more important than style, and substance is greater than form. He advocates "people-centered design", the essence of which is to explore the way of human using science and technology, not the way of using science and technology itself. Whitney said: "Being user-centered is not about pleasing customers. "You must observe what they are really doing, not what they are saying."
