Designit’s first residency unpacked how ‘Do No Harm’ can be applied to design and how could we put it into practice.
We developed a Do No Harm framework for Design. This framework is a practical approach to having a guided dialogue and shared awareness around potential negative consequences on people, the environment, and society. It’s a tool that can be used across the entire design process, from how you define each project, conduct research, and develop an idea, all the way to how you implement a solution or launch a product.
How might we better design and innovate for a more equitable society, while keeping planetary boundaries in mind? By applying Do No Harm principles, we innovate and build better futures while de-risking unintended consequences.
