Invisible Design
lakshmi

Design is invisible when it works. The interface on my Macintosh is very carefully designed, but I don't even notice it. If it was buggy or poorly designed, I would notice it.

Building Bridges

In my opinion, and with respect to short-term measurability, higher education would make the best strategic starting point for Envision’s platform of growth.
