Do more planetary good and less harm with life-centred design
Life-centred design includes all life forms and vulnerable communities in design and decision-making to transform profitable projects into less harmful ecosystems that also create value for nature and communities.
The Life-centred Design Lab develops and teaches this holistic design approach to empower designers, consultants, educators, and decision-makers to create more sustainable, inclusive, and regenerative solutions.
