Design and the Economy
+ Design alone does not ensure economic growth, but without design there can be no economic growth
+ Most major new design trends have come from economic struggles, defining and meeting unmet needs and/or wars.

Talking about Design
+ Understanding design depends on the exposure one’s had to designers and design thinking
+ Design is a noun, a verb, a process
+ It is not about just making something pretty
+ It is not the purvue of a select few
+ It is an intangible asset, hard to measure

Design’s Importance to Business/Economy
“The dumbest mistake is viewing design as something you do at the end of the process to ‘tidy up’ the mess, as opposed to understanding that it’s a ‘day one’ issue and part of everything.”
— Tom Peters, author “In Search of Excellence”
