Designing distinctive experiences is as much art as it is science.  Science is the technology, the tools, and the infrastructure, and is the more tangible ingredient of a solution.  But a solution is not achieved with technology alone.  Creativity is required to pull all the parts together and make them work seamlessly. Creativity requires focus on subjective issues -- consumer likes and dislikes, usability, processes, preferences, and needs.
