Background
When those we usually overlook, show us the way forward

Wellbeing design

What can we learn from those we usually overlook? This project explores how people at the margins, who have been forced to redesign their lives, carry unique knowledge about wellbeing for people and planet. Using tools from communication design, transition design theory and ethnography, I have translated this wisdom into a visual method that helps municipalities understand, anchor and act on wellbeing – beyond growth.
