Journalist John Hockenberry, a highly respected journalist and commentator that has reported from all over the world in virtually every medium, tells a personal story inspired by a pair of flashy wheels in a wheelchair-parts catalogue — and how they showed him the value of designing a life of intent. (From The Design Studio session at TED2012, guest-curated by Chee Pearlman and David Rockwell.)

“There is no excuse for bad design! Every object should be about something. A good design casts the user in a story of its intent. Good design is about supplying intent!”
