This video was recommended to me and it could not have come at a more perfect time. I have had an internal debate about my role as a designer for some time now, and “The Story of Stuff” by Annie Leonard brought my internal struggle into the limelight. If taken at face value, the video can be a good source for discussion and exploration.
As a product designer, I am constantly thinking about how I love design and problem solving but am not a fan of ultra consumerism, wasted resources, planned obsolescence, ecological degradation and the list goes on and on. The big question is, what should designers do?
I would love to hear some stories about the positive impacts that designers make which outweigh the negative.
