Like other Cryptics, Design is a creature with stiff robes and a shifting pattern for a head. Her head pattern is lacy and intricate, and seems to be more fine and graceful than [[Pattern]]'s. She has a musical, feminine voice. She can flare out her pattern, which is her way of giving a bow.{{book ref|sa4|80}}
When living on [[Komashi]], she took the form of an attractive Nagadan woman who appeared to be in her early twenties, with a full form and long white hair. This was achieved via a Lightweaving illusion.{{book ref|yumi|5}} She specifically asked for a striking and voluptuous figure, both as a way to be particularly disturbing to people if she ever reveals her true appearance, and because she likes the appearance of human curves.{{book ref|yumi|5}}
=== Personality ===
Design is cheerful and energetic. She gets annoyed easily and considers that to be endearing. She does not mind spoiling the end of stories and considers surprises to be dumb,{{book ref|sa4|80}} unless, it appears, the surprise is for the purposes of playing a prank on someone.{{book ref|yumi|5}}
Design enjoys annoying Hoid, poking holes in his stories and tricks in front of others. She happily points out when Hoid makes a mistake. She likes getting into arguments with Hoid.{{book ref|sa4|80}}{{book ref|sa4|epilogue}}
She dislikes people being overly formal and reverent with her, and she actively
She does not see herself as female, though she does enjoy presenting herself in a female form.{{book ref|yumi|17}}

Eventually, she and Hoid managed to escape Roshar and travel the cosmere, with some difficulty.{{book ref|yumi|17}}{{wob ref|15986}} However, it is not known where she was during Hoid's stay on Scadrial following the True Desolation.{{wob ref|16009}} At some point they found a way to have Design appear and interact as if she were human, using "a complicated wireframe [[Lightweaving]] with force projections attached directly to her cognitive element as it manifested in the physical realm."{{book ref|yumi|5}} They went to [[Threnody]],{{book ref|yumi|17}} and later went to the planet [[Komashi]], where Hoid found himself frozen in stasis. Design took advantage of this 'vacation' to set up a successful noodle shop called the [[Noodle Pupil]], using Hoid's immobilized body as a coat rack.{{book ref|yumi|5}}{{book ref|yumi|21}}
She developed a cordial relationship with [[Nikaro|Painter]], who frequented her restaurant
