By design

It turns out that design goes beyond pretty colors and clever copy. Design is all around us. It impacts every aspect of our lives. It's there when you’re leading a team, raising a family, nurturing a relationship, and shipping your next project.

It's by design that we earn trust, learn new skills, and build meaningful relationships.

It's by design that we begin to think, act, and talk in ways that bring out the best in us and others.

And it’s only by design that we can make the change we hope for.

All the people we care about, the individuals and initiatives we lead, depend on good design. But good design starts with us, at the individual level. It's a choice about attitude and action. It's showing up when we don't have the energy or motivation. It's owning our commitments. It's an iterative process where we apply ourselves, give each other grace, and learn from our experiences to create a better path.
