Like the recent response article we read, I think it’s crucial that we understand and acknowledge that the world can be changed–or become a better place–through the incorporation of design, which shouldn’t be a mere artistic tool.

“You know design is effective when you don’t know it’s there.” That quote links to the idea that appeared in communication models reading that design is absorbed into culture. But I think Antoinette Carroll took it a step further by saying that systemic racism is design as well, and that it could be combatted through transformative design.
