I think it's fairly obvious that she's trying to say that not everything that looks like it was designed by a higher intelligence was designed by a higher intelligence.
I admit though, I didn't see that question coming as an Intelligent Design question. But the analogy is bad, because if we see words written in sand and we understand that they are words and their meaning, we know that a human must have written them. But we don't see such definite proof that anything in nature was designed by an intelligent being or beings. Lots of people look at how complexly life evolved and ascribe design to it, but there's no definite evidence which shows that any life at all on earth was designed, except maybe for breeding larger & better livestock or plants to eat.
