!["[el rol del diseñador] es un rol de activismo importante, de reflexión y de crítica, de poder hacer las preguntas a veces complicadas que otras disciplinas a lo mejor no van a preguntar. Creo que es muy importante saber que también es un rol de humildad, de conocer las limitaciones de la disciplina del diseño. Creo que a veces hay una arrogancia en diseño, de pensar que uno está trayendo metodologías totalmente innovadoras cuando a veces hay ya comunidades de práctica."](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FDSFRUEXEAgm7LP.jpg?name=orig)

I still feel a sense of guilt when helping myself to the stationary cupboard at work. Like an eight-year-old, pinching raspberries from his father’s vegetable patch. For context, here’s a photo of me getting caught pinching raspberries from my father’s vegetable patch.
Autumn sun streams through my office window, casting my desk and chair upon the wall, what a gift, bokeh included

So great to see @DInTransition featured in @designcouncil's #System #Shifting #Design report as a reference in 'Deep remaking'! 👏👏👏📻🎙️
@sboschg @eldorn @silvanajuri
Is systemic design broken?
System-Shifting Design, a new report from Design Council and @thepointpeople, pushes designers and those in the design system to do things differently to achieve more sustainable & equal systems.
