Design is about values — Mike Press — Medium

medium.com/@MikePress/design-is-about-values-b116e7e12b67

Design makes a statement of what we want the world to be like. And in doing so, it is a political activity. Values are political, values express preferences about what problems are worth solving, and in whose interests they are solved. Values determine the degree to which design liberates or empowers the individual and those communities that make up the wider society.
