We review progress in designing and transforming multi-functional yield-stress fluids and give a perspective on the current state of knowledge that supports each step in the design process. We focus mainly on the rheological properties that make yield-stress fluids so useful and the trade-offs which need to be considered when working with these materials. Thinking in terms of "design with" and "design of' yield-stress fluids motivates how we can organize our scientific understanding of this field. "Design with" involves identification of rheological property requirements independent of the chemical formulation, e.g. for 3D direct-write printing which needs to accommodate a wide range of chemistry and material structures. "Design of includes microstructural considerations: conceptual models relating formulation to properties, quantitative models of formulation-structureproperty relations, and chemical transformation strategies for converting effective yield-stress fluids to be more useful solid engineering materials. Finally, future research directions are suggested at the intersection of chemistry, soft-matter physics, and material science in the context of our desire to design useful Theologically-complex functional materials.
