Ethically Responsible Design

"...Design is a use of power; recognize this, and think carefully about the effect you have on others when you wield it.  In addition to the what, consider also the who. Get in the habit of asking yourself, “what is it about me and my background that gives me the authority, power, and access to try to address this problem? Will my contributions be valued or seen automatically as better (or worse) because of who I am? How might that affect the creative work that results?” (Fast Company, September 21)
