Designers play a huge role in our daily lives. Look up and around, and you’ll see things we designed. Unfortunately, a lot of the things that we surround ourselves with and use on a daily basis cause a lot of harm to our planet and communities. Designers create ads that sell stuff we don’t need, made out of finite resources to be used once, twice, three times, and then get discarded (or break) so that people buy the next new thing and then repeat that same process. But I believe that if designers knew how to harness their skills in a better way, we could transform our jobs into roles that heal and renourish our world.
