We are an inspiration platform which operates at the intersection of design and science. We envisage the world where design and science collaborate seamlessly together to create a better world and human experience. All design is richer with science and all science is more beautiful with design. It is a symbiosis, an organic collaboration, which brings us closer together to our humanity. All design is created by humans and for humans yet needs to co-exist in the ecosystem of our beautiful planet Earth. This balance between human, nature, design and science is our inspiration for this platform. We exist to spread the knowledge, vision, creativity and remove the divisions between these areas of study and practice. We inspire better future and human experience. www.humanising-design.com
