Praise for Design Is Story from leaders in architecture, design, and creative education.

“As architecture and design search for new relevance in our new world of machine intelligence, stories have emerged as the best source for making human-centered environments. Greg leads us on a fascinating journey around this new discipline and how it’s upending expectations about the value of design. Design Is Story is a primer for creating rich and evocative places that bring greater joy and meaning to our everyday lives. Overdue and essential. Bravo!”
