“Everything from womb to tomb is design. When you plan your day, you’re a designer. When you come up with a new idea at work, you’re a designer. When you figure out how to improve your relationships, you’re a designer. When you cook dinner, you’re a designer. Design is the act of giving shape to our lives and our world. We are all designing all the time.“
