Minh Lefrancois: intentional, planned out in advance. - imagine how an architect makes the choices of where to put the load bearing walls in a building... etc.so that if someone is not acting by design, then they are being spontaneous, and therefore genuine.
Russel Gajate: It means that something was planned to be a certain way. "As if by design" would mean that something appears to have been planned, rather than being accidental or simple happenstance.
Debora Soliani: By design means in accordance with a plan - rather than through, e.g. spontaneity.
