Design is the creative and conceptual process of imagining and planning a structure, product, or system. It involves problem-solving, aesthetics, function, and innovation. Drafting, on the other hand, is the technical process of representing those design ideas with precise and standardized drawings, often using tools like AutoCAD or Revit. While design is about "what" and "why," drafting is about "how" and "where" – turning vision into technical documentation ready for construction or manufacturing.
