I believe design is the most powerful tool we have to change the world.

It can clarify complexity, realign incentives, and make difficult things easy. At its best, design can make the individual choices that lead to a better world for all of us feel natural and obvious — even delightful.

At scale, this can truly transform society — without the bitterness or violence often associated with major social change.

That’s why I’ve dedicated my career to applying design to democracy and government. A well-functioning democracy shapes every aspect of our lives, and I believe design — applied with deep care and insight — is the most powerful way to make it stronger, more responsive, and more humane.

To me, there is no more important work.
