The Designers Respond
/ongoing project/
In this project, I explore ethical issues of design through the authorial activities of readers and the minor texts of design. These are the everyday conversations for driving design discourse: blog posts and comments, letters to editors, and editorial introductions. After all, the public that reads and debates, does so in the interests of itself.
