Nice work Ben! Invaluable to have a resource of design principles. One thought; as a design community how could we promote the importance of establishing a design manifesto for a product/company—throughout a company and team, i.e. key decision makers? Perhaps a deeper question, making it a key part of company culture?

This is great. I am a service/experience designer in Barcelona and each time I do a project, I feel like I have to reinvent the wheel or discover what many must have discovered before me. That costs time and money. Never thought about this before, but design principles might be the single best “format” to quickly share the context of an industry. Is there a way to get involved?
hi @benbrignell! awesome repository, thanks for sharing! I'm building my own with the collection of companies handbooks, culture books and other stuff at betterwiki.me. Do you still maintain the project?
Feature request: a "wizard" that would take you thru the process of creating your own design principles (maybe borrowing from companies that the user admires). Looks like that's where you might be headed on the "Create" page. Please let post again when that's available. Nice work!

Would like to see higher standards on what counts as a summary for each design principle. Many are too short to derive anything actionable without visiting the links provided. Thumbs up for providing links though!
Pros:
Solid resource to locate design principles of many different companies.
Cons:
It's basically a list of links with some light content added to summarize the principles.
