Every other decision app hides how it works.
運 (UN) tells you upfront: "This coin is 51% biased toward action."
That honesty doesn't break the tool—it's our competitive advantage.

UX design is powerful. But not always for the right reasons.
Dark patterns — deceptive interfaces that push users into choices they don’t want — aren’t one-size-fits-all. They’re tailored. Adjusted. Built to exploit vulnerabilities differently in kids, teens, and adults.

Just because life isn't "fair" doesn't mean we shouldn't be—if anything, that's all the more reason we should strive to be.

📄 Good design isn’t about awards, aesthetics, or ego—it’s about solving real problems.
Human-centered design focuses on clarity, purpose, and ethics, creating work that actually serves its audience.
In this article, inspired by Jorge Frascara’s "Graphic Design for the People", we explore how design can be a tool for meaningful communication—and why that matters more than ever.

Crashing the Narrative 🚨
Not everyone gets a seat at the tech table.
Not every system serves the people it claims to.
So let’s crash the narrative that AI is neutral, that admin is boring, that care is a side note.
🧠 Digital literacy is power.
🩺 Healthcare and legal admin are cultural battlegrounds.
🎨 Culture care isn’t fluff — it’s the infrastructure of belonging.

Just liberated the video of one of my talks from YouTube and uploaded a copy to our Vimeo account:
Big Brother Awards 2014: Moving beyond the clouds (we need an ethical approach to design)
(Imagine what a different world we’d be living in today if folks in tech had heeded our warnings back then. But I guess they were too busy making mint.)
PS. yt-dlp is your friend (on Mac: brew install yt-dlp). Also make sure you have ffmpeg installed (brew install ffmpeg). Finally, I had to manually tell yt-dlp where to find ffmpeg although your mileage may vary based on installation method: yt-dlp "<URL>" --write-subs --ffmpeg-location=/opt/homebrew/bin/ffmpeg (--write-subs saves the subtitles if there are any to a file in a format you can use on the web).

#TIL about one of the many potentially important standards reports that seem to have been pushed onto the backburner by the pandemic.;
"The report, Ethically Aligned Design, was released today by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). It is the culmination of a year's work by 250 world leaders in technology, law, social science, business and government spanning six continents."
#IEEE, 2017

The Camera Panopticon
How did we end up in technofascism? Watch this talk I gave over a decade ago warning of the dangers of Silicon Valley and Big Tech and urging us to embrace alternatives.

I recently wrote an article on design tools and the status quo of proprietary software companies that have turned creative tools into money-grabbing slot machines.
I’ve provided some alternatives to #Adobe that aren’t necessarily open-source but have a more ethical approach to providing tools.

Our practice is rooted in the belief that design is a form of activism. We want all the projects we undertake—whether #art, #design or #architecture— to reflect our commitment to #veganism, #socialjustice, and #sustainability. If you or anyone you know needs design services, our team would love to help transform your ideals into reality.

The world would be a better place with more open and transparent #software. That’s why we want to move towards using more #opensource software in our design workflows. But we need help! If you know #BlenderBIM, #sverchok and/or #freecad reach out to us if you’re interested.
We believe creativity is the only way to produce culture, and a radical shift in culture is the best way to resolve our societal challenges and create meaningful change.
What would a better culture look like to you? How would it differ from the way we currently live?
