contruction of living organisms

The transcription and translation processes incorporates digital information being transferred and read, direction being given and assembly of amino acids into proteins taking place.

Can this process be classified as a sort of natural design process?

Firstly there is no "direction", mRNA doesn't speak to the ribosome telling it what to do, it's simply a function of mindless chemistry. Secondly no I don't think your classification is appropriate. Design implies a level of conscious planning (and if you remove the conscious aspect of that the usage of the word becomes far more vague: afterall you could then argue that an ocean had designed the sand on the beach) but there is no forward planing here.
