Cohort 4
Responsible Design for Change
Fellowship
After a decade of connecting the purpose-driven sector with the UX community, we have reimagined how to build a stronger bond between them. This Fellowship emerged from our Founder’s deep reflection on her original aspiration to make social impact accessible to the entire UX community, as well as the skills she believes are necessary to design and lead a better future for generations to come.
“Hello! Thanks for taking the time to look into the Fellowship. Three years ago, while reading the book Design Justice by Sasha Costanza-Chock, I came to the realisation that the way I learned to design products and services was missing something important: a harmonious approach in which my intention to create a better future for generations to come was upheld by the design and leadership decisions I made in my practice.
I am convinced of the importance of being the change I wish to see in the world, and therefore, I knew I had to create the conditions in which I would learn to align my intentions with my practice, while supporting others to do the same. This conviction is what gave birth to the Fellowship. It has been quite a journey, and I am excited to continue this journey with you.”

Choose Your Path
“It’s more important to be good ancestors than dutiful descendants. Too many people spend their lives being custodians of the past instead of stewards of the future. We worry about making our parents proud when we should be focused on making our children proud. The responsibility of each generation is not to please our predecessors—it’s to improve conditions for our successors.”
Individual Contributor Track
Perhaps you’re a senior designer feeling exhausted by the shift that has been happening in the UX industry, and you know deep inside that it was not supposed to be this way. Or maybe you’re a career changer looking for work that finally aligns with your values, or a graduate who loved that one class dedicated to Design Justice and wishes to learn more.
Ultimately, you are looking to become a good ancestor by pursuing the dream of knowing deep in your heart that your design or research practice truly makes the world a better place.
Regenerative Leader Track
Perhaps you’re an emerging leader standing at the crossroads, terrified that “stepping up” means inheriting the harmful habits of the managers who came before you. You want to step into leadership but feel like it would require you to leave your values behind. Or maybe you have been paralysed after observing how power dynamics are the one thing they never teach in university, but influence everything around you.
Ultimately, you are looking to become a good ancestor by creating the conditions for people to practice responsible design.
