BETTER WORLD BELIEFS
pro-human, always
This living manifesto exists to remind us that the quality of our creations and the rigour of our design practice directly influence how we interact with others, the systems we build, and the worlds we inhabit.
Human-first, then tech
Dark patterns suck
Calm technology, yes
Faster is not better
Adopt a complex systems lens
Design with people and planet in mind
Ubiquitous, at what cost?
Imagine desirable futures
Harness collective intelligence
Design for the edges, not just the average
Protect agency, pride and livelihood
Introduce healthy friction
Leave things better than we found them
Everyone matters
Pay attention and be kind
Stay playful, curious and connected
Stay polite and humble
No BS, no a**holes
