Design needs ethics

Design has a huge influence on how people behave and live their lives. As designers, we are trained to solve problems and make people’s lives better, but rarely do we consider what 'better' actually is. It is important to understand that what we design is not neutral. In fact design is an inherently ethical activity. That’s why I believe designers should understand ethics and learn to incorporate it in your design work. And for that, you’re in the right place. Check out the toolkit for practical resources for approaching design from an ethics perspective.
