Design Is...
Design is everywhere. From the computer you're using to your haircut, from the clothes you wear to the seat you're sitting in -- design is all around you! The objects you use every day are the products of intentional design. Successful design incorporates both aesthetic and pragmatic concerns to create objects that make our lives easier and more enjoyable.

What does design mean to you? Is it a new invention that makes a task easier or faster?
Is it a piece of art? A public park? A street that lessens your commute? 

Tell us what design is to you, where and why.
