we are interconnected and have the power to transform our environment in ways that benefit not just ourselves, but also the world around us.
At the core of our belief system lies the idea that change, no matter how daunting it may seem, is always within our grasp.
We firmly believe that we all have the potential to be catalysts for positive transformation, and that the smallest of actions can make a significant impact.
As inhabitants of this planet, we are interconnected and have the power to transform our environment in ways that benefit not just ourselves, but also the world around us.
We believe that by working together and being mindful of our actions, we can create a brighter future for ourselves and generations to come.

Self-actualization at the apex
While performing routine tasks, some element is motivated by a vision of what they might accomplish and who they might someday become.
Psychologist Abraham Maslow placed this natural inclination towards Self-actualization at the apex of his hierarchy of human needs (esteem, love/belonging, safety, and physiological conditions follow).
People carry hidden notions of the self and what they can and should be. We need to rise above all the tangles of the world to realize our goal.
Self-actualization encompasses creativity, morality, spontaneity, problem-solving, lack of prejudice and acceptance of facts.
Who will act as the doer?
We are constantly bombarded with information, and being politically correct is like a status symbol.
The information comes from the web, and the latest issues range in the various social media handles. So everybody is there to give their opinion.
Topics like global warming, recycling, and eco—friendliness are common terminologies. We all talk about it. What is needed now is action in this direction.
But who will act as the doer? All of us, in some way or another. For a healthy and peaceful stay on Earth, we need to sustain it for a long.
The environmental movement’s most groundbreaking feature is its vast scope. By encompassing issues that affect every living being on our planet, it has the potential to create a more sustainable and equitable future for all.
Activist Paul Hawken describes it as the most significant and fastest-growing movement in the world, comprising more than 2 million organizations worldwide.
This broad, loosely connected network presents both opportunities and challenges for change and self-identity management.
A designer has the power to mould
A designer is between the customer and the business and has the power to mould the experience that the user is about to encounter. They can aggravate a specific attitude and ultimately evolve the individual.
Designer as the enabler
- In many fields, the design is done with users, and the designer acts as a facilitator — the enabler.
- Even the most basic design problem is seen as an opportunity for facilitating human transformation.
- The fear of catastrophic climate change and human behaviour has made alarms ring loudly. So the new world boosts the designer, who is just one of the groups screaming to contribute to sustainability.
- NGOs, businesses, technologists, academics, and governments are pursuing their goals, competing for public attention.
Gradually, manufacturers, designers, users, and consumers have realized that they all share one thing in common: they all are citizens of planet Earth and must sustain it with love for generations to come.
Defining the new role of the designer
Things like “new world order”, “defining the new role of designer”, and sudden inclination toward social innovation and sustainability.
Sudden change must be defined before plunging into a new world order. Are our designers just settling their egos, or have the conscience hit them?
It’s similar to the green revolution that’s struck the business world. No matter what the intentions are, popularizing green is phenomenal.
Whether the steps my fellow designer took are accurate in themself or not will happen.
Either one can capitalize on them or utilize them for the better.
Now, what happens is that no one in this world works for free; they need to have some motivation.
Wondering what’s the motivation?
Miss Ecology & Mr Economy
So now, the money flow in the economy is diverted towards sustainable business models and new market thoughts.
In years to come, it will generate a more significant market share.
The world is full of energy (creative). However, it needs to be aligned well with good conscious actions.
Although a lot has changed in the world with time, there is no evidence to indicate any change in the total of human happiness.
A human being is a peculiar creature
They have progressed beyond the animal, yet only partially so. It is doubtful that at the present level of human consciousness, the fundamental problems of human life will ever disappear.
Just as humans have evolved from animals, a creature with a higher consciousness level than man may be the product of evolution.
This could happen anyway since evolution is a stringent process.
Human consciousness has been estimated to have increased marginally but significantly during the last decades.
But human beings are unique in being able to work towards raising their consciousness.
Designing an environment representing trueness, pureness, happiness, and balance will be great.
- A place that boosts creativity and explores the different moods of an individual. A place to vent out different needs and develop the self.
- The entire set will be activity-based and experience-designed for learning and sustainability. This will be a significant money flow zone. Mass production will only be encouraged if it turns into cheap selling tack tics to lure individuals into becoming customers.
- The economy will flourish with personally crafted products, which will develop an emotional attachment to the development and its manufacture.
So, there is no point in painting the wall damage with different colours. What’s required is mending the wall itself.
It may take time and effort, but it will be the best solution.
