This article is based on a talk I delivered in March 2016 to a group of design students in the School of Design and Architecture at Tecnológico de Monterrey in Querétaro. This talk was a call to action for all students who are interested in design for social change. It encouraged them to delve into their personal motivations and values, and self-imposed limitations. Giving them some examples of how designers can change the world in a myriad of ways. The world needs compassionate, creative and very smart designers, taking the places of the old guard. The future is in their hands.
