A big claim from the Free Design movement is to liberate design from the designer. Design must be know and practiced by everyone, even for whom who didn’t have any formal training on it. This doesn’t means that there are no role for professional designers. Experts will be needed even more when people start figuring out the usefulness of design process. Then, designers can finally focus on what they are really good at: not on attractive products, but on creative process.
