The seed of an idea for an interdisciplinary design practice that goes out of its way to recognise and affirm "goodness" in the world while agitating for needed change. It is a model that values diversity of approach and personality, and attempts to avoid the well trodden patterns of "conservative" and "radical" behaviour.

During all the years of my work in advertising I always had very ambivalent feelings about it. Part of me loved it for endless possibilities of creative opportunities while bigger part of me hated it for having to act against my political and personal values.
I'm sure many co-workers also experienced similar feelings but decided to stay, as it appears this is one of those "take it or leave i…

I have come across this video yesterday and looked at it several times. I was astonished by the directness of this trader who told the whole world through the BBC that he dreams every night about a global economic crisis, because this situation will allow him to make big profits.

The housing titanic – The big ship in communicating to influence the public stigma of affordable housing.

Today, while enjoying my regular reading routine, I read a short tweet about Anonymous Bosnia.

If you have heard of Bosnia before, that was probably due to the fact that it was heavily devastated by war during the 90′s and the problems they are facing now – as a country that doesn’t really functio…
