"Design thinking should become synonymous with network thinking. This is the only way for us to fully understand repercussions, to design more consciously and sustainably, and to have a long-lasting, positive impact on our planet." @mslima @DesignObserver bit.ly/3ntn3bg

New book: Designer @mslima discusses how the #design profession needs a new mandate that goes beyond #UX and short-term thinking; interview w. @jarrettfuller fastcompany.com/90909909/man… #sustainability

Manuel Lima thinks it's time to redesign design

'The new designer is less concerned with a deliverable and more concerned with the impact of their design on the world as much as the design itself.'

Caught an incredible talk by @mslima at #isvis2023 today. His perspective on how viewing people as data points can erode their humanity and lead to desensitization is spot on. Empathy over numbers.
