This short course will introduce you to the essence of life-centred design (LCD)—an evolving approach that expands beyond human-centred design, embracing the interconnectedness of people, communities, and the living world.
LCD considers not only immediate users and businesses but also the broader web of impacted lifeforms—non-users, local and global communities, ecosystems, and planetary boundaries.
By bridging designers (UX, product engineering, urban design, etc.) with global sustainability goals, LCD fosters solutions that are not only functional but also regenerative and enduring.
Welcome
This short, free course will introduce you to the essence of life-centred design (LCD)—an evolving approach that expands beyond human-centred design, embracing the interconnectedness of people, communities, and the living world.
LCD considers not only immediate users and businesses but also the broader web of impacted lifeforms—non-users, local and global communities, ecosystems, and planetary boundaries.
By bridging industrial product designers with business models aligned with global sustainability goals, LCD fosters solutions that are not only functional but also regenerative and enduring.

I am the voice of the trees who were taken to make the product I speak from.
We, the trees, gave shade, clean air, homes for countless creatures, and the gift of oxygen for you to breathe. We cooled the earth, held the soil, and stored the carbon that would have otherwise harmed you.
Now, as a user of this product, you are part of this legacy, and a custodian of the things we once were.
I ask you to honor the role we played for your planet. Where we are taken, help new trees rise, and protect those who still stand tall. Nurture them as they nurture you, for your future is rooted in our regeneration.
