This is Speculative by Design
HOPE CENTERED DESIGN LAB
The HCD Lab is moving past just the human. We are fostering new culture, language, and design methods that extend beyond a traditional human-centered approach. Come join a diverse community of futures thinkers and radically imagine new futures through paradigms that embrace interconnected perspectives in a more holistic approach to systems thinking and design.
who we are
We are artists and poets and revolutionaries and teachers and dreamers and musicians and thinkers and designers and activists and dancers and writers and philosophers and lovers and filmmakers and organizers and innovators and healers and stewards of the earth and storytellers and creators and destroyers and we are also everyone else in between. We are decentralizing design and making it accessible to all who want to be a part of creating new futures.
let's REDefine REdesign the way we create.
In the HOpe Centered Design lab, we are…
👯 On a collective learning journey
This is a (liminal) space for all to inquire and imagine and invent! We provide a safe environment to push the boundaries of traditional design methods and embrace new cultures, languages, and approaches.
⁉️ Questioning everything that we've been told
We are dismantling our belief systems around what constitutes good design and we are shifting towards designing for the good! We are questioning and re-questioning everything!
🪐 Navigating Cosmic Frontiers and Redefining What is Possible
In this transformative space, we embark on a multidimensional journey, weaving together threads of consciousness, connectedness, and community, and synthesize the past, present, and future, transcending traditional boundaries and envisioning new worlds.
🚨 Radically Imagining Equitable Systems
Our gaze extends beyond designing for infinite growth; this is not merely a new framework but a new way of being. This is a makers-space to tackle the most wicked an intractable issues of today and we are all the makers. We design for hope, belonging, optimism, and meaning. Together, we are shaping the future of design, manifesting small changes to bring about a complete shift in our patterns of creation and consumption. Optimism is counter-culture; let's rebel!
🦄 Connecting, Creating, and Transforming
We are prioritizing creating a collectivist community within the lab and fostering a sense of belonging and collaboration that transcends traditional hierarchies and boundaries. Through shared experiences and collective action we can create a new design culture. Together, we can choose and shape the future. Welcome to the future of design! 🚀
