Sustis is my creative space and design studio, dedicated to inspiring and guiding you toward sustainable futures where the planet and its lifeforms can coexist and thrive. Combining my expertise as a strategic service designer with a creative mindset, I use life-centric thinking, design fiction, gamification, and futuring to shape pathways for transformative change.
What is sustainability? How to become a life-centric designer? Why we should be interested about sustainable digitalisation?
The essential terms and frameworks related to sustainability.
3 levels of sustainability & 4 themes of sustainable transformation
How can designers take action and create a shift towards life-centred design?
Digitalisation and sustainability put together can bring a broader change. However, technology is not a neutral tool – it has to become sustainable too!
Infinite growth, powered by finite natural resources is simply an oxymoron. It’s time to say ‘bye bye’ to solutions that accelerate extractivism, consumption and short-term success, and say ‘hello’ to life-centric thinking. It means creating products and services that profitably serve a need, has positive impact to society, wont harm humans, non-human animals or any living beings and takes the planetary boundaries into account while emphasising clean energy and avoiding the exploitation of scarce natural resources. life-centric approach benefits from:
- Decoupling the environmental bads from the economical goods.
- Regenerative, circular, systems and futuring oriented design practises.
- Democratising the society via accessible, affordable and inclusive outcomes for all.
Jump into the world of design games and check out how to create one yourself. In addition, check out 4 references I have co-created.
I have also written my thesis about how design games can be seen as a tool for envisioning sustainable futures.
What are design games and why they are such an awesome method to explore alternative sustainable futures?
