The essence of design is thinking made visual. From traditional craft to computer design, from dress design to app design...they are all processes of thought becoming reality in a nexus of creativity. By breaking out of established patterns of thinking and doing, by tapping into our inner child and by not fearing failure, we can pierce the ordinary to find the extraordinary. 2011 is The Year of Craft in Ireland and so we wish to celebrate design and creativity from all areas of life in this our second TEDxTallaght event.
