HOW MIGHT WE STAVE OFF THE END OF THE WORLD?
HOW IS YOUR DESIGN THINKING WORKING OUT SO FAR?
As designers, we just spent the past 25 years talking about saving the planet, transitioning to new and more equitable businesses, being the force of good, being "human-centric" (or whatever is the BS young people say these days). But the world is still in flames, there is war, exploitation, plastic waste, unbreathable air… you know, that thing we are trying to call by the pet name “permacrisis”. We as designers were complacent in the creation of a well crafted extinction event. Yay us.
How the f*ck did that happen? Are we THAT stupid? Or are we just THAT suicidal?
Maybe design could finally grow up if we stopped pretending the world is a tidy user-journey. Reality is hyperreal, mediated, glitching at the seams—and our work should meet that complexity head-on instead of dieting on 2000s-era optimism.

Pay&Go
We carried out a full-spectrum research and UX strategy project for BKK, uncovering how users understand, navigate, and trust Pay&GO, and providing clear guidance for improving the experience across digital and physical touchpoints.
The Age of Cybercrime
We developed a comprehensive, data-driven whitepaper for Mastercard that explains the evolving cybercrime landscape and provides actionable frameworks for users, companies, and regulators. The material served as a strategic communication tool and supported Mastercard’s ecosystem-building efforts across CEE.
Rewilding at Balaton
Reviving edible wild plant traditions at Lake Balaton to build community-based climate resilience and reconnect people with local ecosystems. This research project is based on the design of living labs with a more-than-human perspective in mind.
OTHER FUN STUFF
