Mike Monteiro

    Mike, Mitbegründer von Mule, genießt den Ruf, Design und Menschenrechte ernst zu nehmen, gepaart mit einer ausgeprägten Schlagfertigkeit. Seine Philosophie des unterstützenden Antagonismus fördert herausragende interne und externe Projekte. Sein Buch zelebriert fleißige Arbeit, Selbstreflexion und den Wert sorgfältiger Handwerkskunst. Er spricht häufig über die ethischen Verantwortlichkeiten von Designern in Kundenbeziehungen.

      The world is working exactly as designed. The combustion engine which is destroying our planet’s atmosphere and rapidly making it inhospitable is working exactly as we designed it. Guns, which lead to so much death, work exactly as they’re designed to work. And every time we “improve” their design, they get better at killing. Facebook’s privacy settings, which have outed gay teens to their conservative parents, are working exactly as designed. Their “real names” initiative, which makes it easier for stalkers to re-find their victims, is working exactly as designed. Twitter’s toxicity and lack of civil discourse is working exactly as it’s designed to work.The world is working exactly as designed. And it’s not working very well. Which means we need to do a better job of designing it. Design is a craft with an amazing amount of power. The power to choose. The power to influence. As designers, we need to see ourselves as gatekeepers of what we are bringing into the world, and what we choose not to bring into the world. Design is a craft with responsibility. The responsibility to help create a better world for all. Design is also a craft with a lot of blood on its hands
