the purpose of everything

as a designer, it is my ultimate goal and responsibility to create only what is needed through the most ethical means. the hardest part of right livelihood is living without it.

"Designers should define their role broadly as agents of good in the world, and limit their work to 'legitimate' products: those that are needed, and those that can be made without damage to nature or - through the unethical actions of manufacturers and investors - damage to
people."

- Industrial designer Phillipe Starck, on the purpose of design
