We are Designers.
We are the creators, the problem-solvers, the visionaries, and the hands that shape the world around us. In a time when the Earth teeters on the brink, when people are more divided from nature than ever, and when the call for change grows louder each day—we refuse to remain silent.
We Believe in Design as a Force for Good
Design has immense power, capable of shifting cultures, shaping behaviors, and igniting revolutions. But too often, this power is used to fuel profits, to mask damage with false promises, and to perpetuate consumption at a cost we cannot afford.
No more.
We believe design should be a force for good, a tool for healing and transformation. We stand firm in our responsibility to use our skills with integrity, not to prop up harmful industries or support deceitful practices. We recognize that our work has consequences, and we pledge to wield it with purpose and care.
A Pledge to Protect, Not Destroy
To those who exploit design to sell more, to waste more, to take more—your time is up.
We refuse to lend our talents to unsustainable practices. We refuse to support industries that hide behind greenwashing, obscuring their harm in layers of illusion. And we refuse to participate in the blind drive toward limitless growth, which leaves our planet’s resources depleted and our future at risk.
Instead, we choose to design for a world that thrives—not only today, but for generations to come.
A Call to Action, A Quiet Rebellion
In a world of mass production, we are the ones who dare to design with restraint. In a culture of waste, we dare to design for longevity. In an economy that values profit over all else, we dare to design with principles.
We pledge to be Designers who care.
We will educate. We will inspire. We will question. We will use our talents to solve real problems, not to create more. And we will hold each other accountable to this purpose.
We understand the gravity of our choices, and we embrace the responsibility that comes with our craft. This is not a manifesto of empty words; it is a vow that each of us carries into our work, our collaborations, and our daily lives.
Join Us in a Movement for Lasting Change
To every designer, creator, and thinker who reads this manifesto: if you share our vision, we invite you to join us. Stand with us in rejecting harmful practices. Stand with us in refusing to compromise our ethics for the easy path. Stand with us in reimagining design as a means to uplift, sustain, and heal.
Together, we can rewrite the purpose of design. Together, we can make design a tool for resilience, for beauty, and for a better world.
This is our legacy. This is our promise. This is the League of Designers.
Let our signatures be more than ink on paper; let them be the seeds of change.
