Rubberband,LLP’s 8 Design Principles for Democratic Design
Since our start in 2008 we have developed a number of strategies that help us maintain our work focused on the motivations of our mission and vision. We have created a list of eight principles that summarize the philosophy of Rubberband, LLP.
1. Citizen Designer: is the designer that inserts him/herself into the society and, accordingly, acts responsibly with the other from his/her position as a designer. It is the practitioner of the democratic design, and uses design for the benefit of all groups of society. His/her practice is sensitive to the needs of different user groups.
2. Open Process: Designers are not magicians. They do not have to hide their process. An open process helps to educate others (users and clients) about what design is and how it works; also, invites others to improve upon it.
3. Reflective Practice: We evaluate decisions in real time and not after taking them. Based on Donald Schön’s (The Reflective Practitioner, How Professionals Think In Action, 1983) “Learn by doing” but adapted to the local context.
4. Client-collaborator: The client is part of our creative team. In the end, it is their project, and with an open process, the client becomes an accomplice in every decision.
5. Do No Harm: Everything is personal; we are all people, even in business, and everything affects us on a personal level. Design is a tool of social change, it is important to use it responsibly, for the common good and not to do harm.
6. Trans-disciplinary Practice: Our practice crosses the boundaries of the design profession. We call it “Liquid Design”, like water, it is formless; it adapts its shape accordingly. In our projects we invite professionals from various disciplines to join the team. Thus getting another look beyond our perspective as designers, and making the product, one better designed for all aspects of a user.
7. Research Practitioner: does not make a move without researching, also, he/she makes sure to publish the findings. Research in the practice is essential because theory, feeds from practice, and practice from theory.
8. Education of a New Generation: the responsibility of experienced designers with new emerging colleagues. The formation of a designer does not end after design school, it barely begins. We have a commitment with emerging designers, to inform of alternatives ways of developing a design practice. We do not seek to create Rubberband clones, but give access to tools that promote a sustainable and responsible practice of design.

Ramesh Srinivasan: “Empowering Culture and Context”
Featuring guest Ramesh Srinivasan, Assistant Professor in the Department of Information Studies at UCLA.
The power of culture and context dramatically shape technology’s influence on networks and power worldwide. Having just spent a month in the field in and around Egypt, and building on earlier work in Kyrgyzstan, I will describe how ‘social media’ shapes and impacts but one limited set of networks within the many that characterize everyday life. I will discuss in both cases how social movements are fueled by layers of networks, and that digital networks tend to directly speak to those of higher economic and educational class, indirectly influencing poorer masses though not unproblematically. From these critical perspectives, I will try to tell a story how technologies can be re-envisioned and sociotechnically deisgned to better empower diverse cultural ontologies and value systems by presenting fieldwork done in India and with a group of Native Americans.
