Status: Ongoing
Problem Statement
Primary How Might We #1.1:
How might we create actionable, flexible, and simple tools and frameworks for researchers and designers to support a range of beings if we sought to not be reliant upon sameness in the form of empathy and fitting complex beings into boxes for humans?
Secondary How Might We #2:
How might we present findings and outcomes to executives to appeal to the prioritization of profit maximization if we intend not to betray our expanded understanding of the collective good?
Discovery/Design Output:
