I like peo­ple who think design can change the world. Grow­ing up, I was hugely inspired by The Inge­nu­ity Gap –a book which explains why we must be excep­tion­ally cre­ative in our responses to prob­lems like cli­mate change and global ter­ror­ism if we are to stand a chance at solv­ing them. Here are two inspir­ing exam­ples of informed, cre­ative design.

The first is from Design that Mat­ters (DtM), a Boston-based charity: 

And here is the third TED pre­sen­ta­tion from Hans Rosling (his oth­ers are here and here, if you missed them). Rosling’s non-profit Gap Min­der, based in Swe­den, uses data visu­al­iza­tion (like the Tren­dal­izer) to make the world’s devel­op­ment sta­tis­tics understandable.
