Define Design.

As makers and problem solvers, we constantly challenge and question what design is. Is it art with purpose? Aesthetics backed by intent? A research-driven tool for change? A reimagined concept? A new question asked?

Maybe it’s all of the above. And maybe that’s where our ideas and our questions begin to breed chaos.
