What is Life-Centered Design?
Life-Centered Design is an actionable design approach that gives designers and other creatives the mindset, opportunity and ability to design holistically. It allows designers to include all life forms and advocates for biological ecosystems and non-user communities. LCD moves away from creating value for the end user & shareholders towards adding value for nature, communities and the economy.
Why should we slow down our design process
This is not the battle between slow & fast, but it is about finding the right pace for you as a designer in relation to your work, the people you work with and the natural world. A designer needs to be able to use its head, hands and heart
Shifting from Human-Centered Design to Life-Centered Design
Design as a profession and designers, particularly, have the skills to contribute to a design approach with Life at its centre.
