perhaps...
what i was thinking about is that we have this work tightly coupled together 
the HIG work.
That's pretty much the pack of things that google calls "Material design" 
(blackberry had cascades, microsoft could have metro but fucked up, apple 
doesn't seem to have a name)
 
"Breeze Design" wouldn't go i think, because is more just a theme, we probably 
need an hip name for the components, and general design/hig of applications.

We could call it something high brow like "Flow" or some bs like that
