Ethan Bodnar    |    Designer and Student
  • This year in the fall I was lucky enough to attend the Better World by Design conference in Providence, Rhode Island. The conference is about using design to have a positive impact on the world. It is a student organized and run conference at Brown University and RISD that spans over three days. And it’s one of the best conferences I have attened.
One of the breakout sessions that we went to was called Ethics in Design. We all walked out of that room with some really great thoughts, and I wanted to share some of my favorites here. [I apologize that I don’t know who all of these are from on the panel, but everyone there was remarkable]

“We are in the culture business. Building culture. Shifting culture. Challenging culture. Real Results are in the production of new cultures.”
“Not just about the artifact but about the thinking.”
“Innovation agency not an ad agency.”
“There is good in everything that you do, just not work that is for non-profits.”
“When you get the call for the problem versus when do you decide to solve the problem first in a pro-active nature.”
