Design has become a critical part of doing business in today's economy. Some of the most innovative companies in tech-Apple, Airbnb, Google, Tesla, and many more-have made human-centered design a hallmark of their brands. From fashion to architecture to office plans, and from digital processes to artisanal craftsmanship, design is having a moment in business. Or maybe business is finally having its design moment.

Fast Company Innovation by Design highlights the people, companies, and trends that have steadily advanced design to the forefront of the business conversation. Drawing from Fast Company's vast library of stories that chronicle innovation in technology, leadership, world-changing ideas, and creativity, this lively book is urgent reading for any anyone seeking to understand the ways that design is fundamentally changing and enhancing business and daily life. A focus on "green" and socially conscious design draws attention to creative solutions to the most pressing concerns we face today.
