“Design is what happens between conceiving an idea and fashioning the means to carry it out. Whether big stuff like painting a picture. making a movie, creating a commercial enterprise, or small stuff like rearranging the layout of a room. In short, designing is arriving at an intelligent equation between purpose and construction..."
