Here, you’ll find the DesignShifts we’re exploring both in theory and in practice. Each topic explores Shifting the posture, power, perspective, practice, and the purpose of design.
DesignShift: From Consumption to Contentment
What would it look like to move design from a tool that supports consumption to a practice that centers contentment?
Our endless focus on MORE creates a world where we feel “less than”. And when we feel “less than”, we consume in order to fill the void created by a mind that is always running.
What if design could help us learn our triggers, see things more clearly, and maybe even make us feel more satisfied with what we already have?
This post is inspired by a great conversation with Anna Rátkai, who explores design and overconsumption.
