What an achievement vaccines are. What a monument to our love for each other it is to stare straight into the face of something as horrific and unstoppable as smallpox or measles or polio or cervical cancer and say “You know what, it doesn’t have to be like this.”

Looking at leaves scattered across the sidewalk. Nature's randomness meets the geometry we've imposed through concrete and steel. Design isn't just what we control - it's how we interact with what we can't. #design #design-thinking

We often think of design as aesthetics, but it's really about decisions. The path you take to work, the moments you choose to check your phone, the walls you put up (or tear down) in conversations - these are all acts of design. You're the architect of your daily experience.
