Dear Designer

A love letter to designers who are struggling, searching, and seeking change — and who still want to create something remarkable.

Dear Designer is a weekly newsletter about design and designers, about how we interpret the world for ourselves and how we change the world for others. I seek to advance a shared practical and ethical foundation for embracing our own human possibility as practitioners.

The newsletter is also a call for designers to withstand the cultural and economic forces meant to demoralize us, to create art and dialogue, and to live with clarity amidst chaos.
