Our design firms have been built on imperialist models that presume that those in power have the authority to determine who and what has value. Who and what are worthy of care, beauty, excellence, comfort, community, liberation, wholeness, and joy. An educator discusses how design education can create change for the better. Developing new mental models is one of the building blocks to making it happen.
