Design is the fiber that holds everything together. There's not a single industry/object/subject that escapes design. Design is the suit companies wear to present themselves to the world, the way a cup handle is shaped, the print on a cloth, the lines and curves on a scarf, the visual language of our universe. Art and design are the beauty in everything we see and use. Even though design is mostly utilized to sell and promote products, its beauty shines the most when it communicates, educates and embraces.
