Design/Pattern

The terms pattern and design somewhat overlap and their exact meaning depends on the context.

A design is a software package that implements a given design on top of our core library. Simon is a design, Teagan is a design, and so is Sandy.

A pattern is an instance of a design. A design that's made-to-measure for a user.
