Design for diplomacy

As designers, our goal is to understand and harness the human emotive. In this current political landscape it is possible for us to use universal design principles and familiar design methodologies to tackle a diverse set of social, cultural, and business challenges. From Portland to Havana to Beirut, design tools can be used for diplomacy to create change on a global scale. The design community can use our skills to overcome obstacles that occur in traditional diplomatic channels to build a stronger future around the world.
