She stands for

SHRINK: To make something smaller.

EMBODY: The perception of quality that come from advertising and promotion of the product. The quality needs to be grate if the product has been simplified.

In your words define ‘humanist technologist’

Technologies that have the values and wellbeing of humanity in mind.

Some one that make sure that we are on the right path in creating technology that will help us in the future but have the right morals in place that we will not see an imbalance in what we can create and overstep our boundaries as human kind.

How can you apply the notion of reduce to your own design process? (give a
specific example)
Any thing that is not really needed and does not serve a purpose should be removed to make room for the things that are. Simple great work as compared to Large average work. Create something that is of a high quality and for fills the needs of what the product is made for.

By removing all other complication the image has become of better quality and represents the product and business in a much clearer way.
