The projects shown here follow a set of principles:

1) Human progress is deliberate and iterative.

2) Insight requires exploration and experimentation.

3) Problems are approached from many angles.

4) Solutions are developed with and for a unique set of circumstances, people, place, and time. The outcomes take a variety of forms: a website, a service, a product, a policy.

5) Connectivity, both in process and result, is emphasized as a democratizing agent and as a catalyst for good design.

6) Honesty, urban density, living locally, the internet, and the reduction of 'me' are our ways out of the holds of the 20th century.
