Tools and Resources
This page is a collection of DesignShift resources meant to equip practitioners, organizations, and communities with the mindsets, practices, and narratives needed to design for justice, care, and flourishing.
DesignShifter Archetypes
The DesignShifter archetypes invites designers and change makers to embrace new roles responses in as we face climate change, inequality, and technological disruption. They move the role of designers from just making to a place of meaning—creating a world that is just, caring, and diverse.
From Force to Flow: A framework for navigating evolving states through the wisdom of water
This framework invites you to embrace water as a tool for accepting the phase we’re in. Instead of trying to calm the ocean or rush toward clarity, we practice recognizing the state we’re in and finding ways to respond to it with care.
Rituals for slowing down
In 2024, we hosted a DesignShift pratice session where we explored slowness. Before the session, participants submitted rituals for slow living that they using in their daily lives. This rituals are meant to inspire you to take a step back from the rat race and embrace slowness and calm.
