When designing products, services, even organisations; we believe it’s essential to understand their footprint & wider impact on communities and planetary boundaries.
We are a research & design collective.
Our approach can bring a wider lens to your design process.
A systems perspective provides clear view of both positive and negative impacts across communities and planetary boundaries.
We can help you introduce a long term view.
Understanding the bigger picture
We believe we have a responsibility to understand the footprint and impact of the things we create and introduce into the world.
It’s our why.
What’s the wider impact of this growth strategy?
If we introduce long-term thinking and look at externalities beyond our organisation what impact are we seeing?
How might our design be different?
Sustainable? Regenerative even?
Human-centred design, with a wider lens.
So along with Service Design methodologies, we’ll probably bring some new questions to the table.
A sustainable society might ask what the growth is for, who would benefit, what it would cost, how long it would last, and whether the growth could be accommodated by the sources & sinks of the earth.
