Design 21: Social Design Network

1. What is the single most overlooked issue that designers face today?

2. How can design schools/programs incorporate sustainable design education into their curriculum? (i.e. What do students need to know?)

3. We are a culture obsessed with consumption, it's no surprise that the design process itself has become quite inefficient (waste, pollution, obsolescence, etc.). How can the way we work have a positive impact on society's demand for more goods?

4. How should designers working for social good approach projects in the luxury/hi-tech markets?

I'd love to interview Valerie Casey, founder and executive director of the Designers Accord, a global coalition of designers, educators, strategists, researchers, engineers, and corporate leaders, working together to create positive environmental and social impact.
