1. “Co-creativity requires that one believes that all people are creative. This is not a commonly accepted belief...”
2. “When we acknowledge that different levels of creativity exist, it becomes evident that we need to learn how to offer relevant experiences to facilitate people’s expression of creativity at all levels”
Liz Sanders | Make Tools (2011)
Tools For Conviviality
“Designers have been traditionally know as aesthetic finishers of ideas... Rather than serving as the reproductive organ of a consumer society, the designer mindset needs to be cultivated to create new methods and tools which enable people to become empowered and willing to actively contribute to the design of their life and community.”
Ivan Illich (1970)

Creating a Shared Space
“Design spaces are where we take turns telling stories, making storyboards, and building prototypes... Sometimes we take a prototype and create a storyboard around it; other times, we do a sketch that gets us to building another model. All our discussions are facilitated by either prototypes or the sketches or the storyboards.”
Rheinfrank (2000)
Future Fashion Models
Who are tomorrow’s consumers?
What will future ‘fast fashion’ experiences be?
“The professional designer will become an agent of design, with the audience of end users selecting what designers system they wish to employ.” Atkinson (2011)
