Ethics for designers part II: Virtue ethics

matthewstrom.com

Hi there, it’s me, Matt.

A quick personal update: In the weeks since I published Part I of Ethics for designers, I’ve settled into a much slower and intentional daily routine. The walk from my bedroom to my desk is maybe 20 feet (ah, Brooklyn). Each step feels important.

Likewise, I’ve had time to fuss over each installment of this series. As I mentioned in my last email, I finished the whole collection in February, before the world got wooly. In this moment, each word matters a lot more to me than it did a few months ago. The temptation to re-write is powerful.

But instead of worrying over the past, I’ve put my energy into writing new essays on a variety of design and business topics. I’ll share them in between updates to Ethics for designers, stating next week.

And today, you can read the latest installment of Ethics for Designers here:
