What we’re about
As Designers we always put the user in the center of our work. This is how we define our job. But, in these times we have to take responsibility for more than just our users.
We have to take responsibility for the effect of our work on all actors in the system. Be it other people (besides our users), society or the environment. And we should our power and influence to help others to change.
How can we make our work and the impact of our work more sustainable? And how can we tackle ALL aspects of sustainability? These are the questions, we want to answer.
But we do not want to create just another manifesto, instead we want to create a practical toolset that helps the design community to take action and responsibility. To make our work more sustainable, but also to drive change with our clients, colleagues or managers.
And we want to that all together with the community and for the community.
Because Designers are more powerful than ever. Let’s use this power to be a change.
And as the famous polar explorer Robert Swan once said: “The biggest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.”
