“Design is not just about making an artifact but it’s also about creating a strategy,” commented Lucille Tenazas, founder and prinicipal of Tenazas Design. “It’s also about creating an impact. I think the idea of using bicycles as a mode of transportation is something that is being underused in our country. I think from the standpoint of design, this design solution enhances civic behavior. Designers in this case were able to present a solution that will impact society. It goes back to what I’ve always thought, design is not just about making things. It’s about making things happen.”
