design for development 2009
Receiving the AIGA Design Educators Award for the Design for Development (d4D) initiative in 2009 provided support for developing new projects—furthering proof of concept of our work—and for the documentation of these and ongoing design projects we undertook in partnership with marginalized indigenous communities in southern Mexico. The intent of our program, d4D, is to explore ways we, designers and others, can use design processes, products, and strategies to support sustainable solutions to local economic, social, cultural, and environmental problems. For the past four years my colleagues, graphic design students, and I have worked on the Yucatán peninsula (Mexico) and partnered with local people on problems they’ve identified.
