[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]Being human involves making choices. And whenever we make a choice, it means that we could have made a different one. Out of all the choices we can make at any given time, which choice should we make?<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]This is what ethics are. Ethics help us work out how to act.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]Like ethics, design ethics are the choices we make daily, just at work. But unlike our personal ethics, design ethics impact our teams, clients, customers and society. But the way to design ethically doesn\u2019t start with them or what they believe is ethical rather it starts with us as designers.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]Before designers can identify, share and scale ethics at work, they need to firstly seek out where they stand ethically.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”] Speculative design is a theory which uses scenarios to travel ahead in time and paint a picture of what could happen if we don\u2019t take new directions in the present. Speculative design began its life in the art world about a decade ago, created to theorise the practices artists were exploring to tell their story of alternate realities. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]Pivoting this into design practice, Speculative design uses scenarios to project into the future in order to rethink the present.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][lab_button title=”Read full article” type=”outlined-bg” button_bg=”custom” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fmedium.com%2Fthis-is-hcd%2Fdesign-ethics-for-designers-who-give-a-toss-315568656d2||target:%20_blank” button_bg_custom=”#ffffff” button_txt_custom=”#ffffff” button_txt_hover_custom=”#000000″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”80px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” full_height=”yes” parallax=”content-moving” css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1662269875389{background-color: #ffffff !important;}” parallax_enable=”” parallax_ratio=”0.8″ parallax_opacity=”” container_wrap=”yes” no_bottom_margin=”yes”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]I began to notice questionable practices happening at work. I wondered if there was a framework (or process) for ethics that would help me (and others).<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]It became clear there wasn\u2019t a simple framework to solve for design ethics.
