Good Design Manifesto

A reflection on the values of design from a personal perspective.

CONSCIENTIOUS

Good design is careful and diligent. Design is the act of creating preferred situations and good design is doing it well through and through. Responsibilities of designers are immense.

CONSIDERATE

Good design is caring and respectful of every entity getting involved and interacting with the design activity. Not causing harm (Ahimsa) is fundamental. Kindness is also an aspect to be inculcated.

IDEALISTIC

Good design believes that extremely good things can be achieved even when it seems impractical or out of reach. Designers can create alternate realities where ideal is real.

AUTHENTIC

Good design is fully trustworthy. It is congruent with the intent of the design activity from the beginning to delivery and beyond. Designers have an intuitive understanding of the authenticity of the design activity.

HEALTHY

Good design goes beyond Ahimsa and aims at contributing to holistic health of the people and the planet. It supports others in thriving and facilitates healing.

PURPOSE DRIVEN

Good design can talk about the impact it wants to create, bigger than the design itself. It is competent. It is also a source of meaning and fulfillment, to engage more deeply.
