Why this blog?
I have always appreciated great design. Design must have purpose to be great, and the most noble purpose for a design is to improve the lives of those less fortunate. I have found many blogs on design (often without a purpose), and many blogs on the developing world (usually oriented toward economics or business models), but no blogs that focus on design for the developing world. So, I decided to create my own.
