Design for tomorrow, today
We must do better today to deliver the future we want tomorrow.
Below is a list of aspirations and expectations that must guide our work in a world that is increasingly user hostile.
~~~
Design to honour humanity
Contribute to and improve the collective culture of humanity.
Design for human dignity
Prioritise and build solutions that preserve human autonomy, privacy, and, most importantly, agency.
Design for inclusivity
Design for all abilities, cultures, and backgrounds.
Design for environmental sustainability
Consider the full lifecycle environmental impact of products, optimizing for longevity, repairability, and minimal resource consumption.
Design for transparent intelligence
Make algorithmic decisions understandable and contestable by the people affected by them - whether directly and indirectly.
Design for data minimalism
Collect only the data necessary, respecting that personal information is borrowed, not owned.
Design for Reality Coherence
Provide reality-based context across physical, digital, and mixed reality experiences.
Design for Time Well Spent
Design interactions that respect users' attention and time, optimizing for meaningful impact not repeat use.
Design for Collaborative Creation
Embrace co-design methodologies that involve people as active participants in the creation of experiences, products, and systems that affect them.
Design for Proactive Safety
Proactively identify potential harms and unintended consequences before they occur, building safeguards into experiences.
Design for broader context
Address complex challenges by considering the broader context and interconnections between people, organisations, and environments.
