Our ultimate challenge is use realistic assumptions of human beings and human design to engender collaborations that support the rhythms of the human experience with all its notions of beauty, meaning and desire.

The following text is taken from Design Decode’s about page:

Design Decode was established in 2015 with the aim of experimenting with and curating new possibilities in design culture through the publication of an interview series profiling exceptional people.

Our mission is to call forth designers and non-designers from all disciplines, to unite them in human-shaped methods of communicating and collaborating, and to collectively evolve, adapt, and integrate new insights across multiple layers of complexity.

The complex challenges of the design universe require us to advance our thinking and expose ourselves to solve real world problems with new approaches that didn’t previously exist.

We believe that the way to solving these problems is about the thing that links us all as human beings, reality, and design: insight.

What is necessary to connect new ideas and practices to sustain design in this time of accelerating challenge? What are its evolving responsibilities and ambitions? How can we keep up?

What are the internal and external challenges, the forces that oppose and the forces that work in its favour? What will define the agenda of designers? What must they do and how they will they do it?

We acquire and act upon the insight we acquire by examining the reality of the fluid systems in which designers operate as well as presenting a community, value-fuelled vison for the future of these fluid systems; we also explore the way designers live, their unique activities, and how they connect people, things, and questions in a way that unites all of us as real human beings.

We aim to design a collaborative system network to support innovators in their quests to build new systems that are aligned with the real, human-shaped core values that embody the fundamental qualities of the full potential of human nature.

We collaborate with different people and contexts around the world to stimulate the necessary transition from a design’s great potential to its greatest reality. The path that we take is the heart of real design itself: truth via insight.

Our ultimate challenge is use realistic assumptions of human beings and human design to engender collaborations that support the rhythms of the human experience with all its notions of beauty, meaning and desire.
