In a time of urgency and transformation, what shifts when we centre dignity—not just as a concept, but as a condition—in design?

Nu invites us to reconsider design’s role: from making things to making meaning, from form to care. Drawing from his background in publishing, research, branding and teaching, he shares how his practice repositions design not as a solution, but as a relationship—one that holds complexity, restores agency and responds to the lived realities of communities.
