Counter Change Toolkit
| Design Fiction + Speculative Design |
This speculative toolkit puts power into the hands of community members who are encountering social change. It serves as a two-fold critique both from the content as well as it’s look and feel.
The Counter Change Toolkit’s content is inspired by true events captured in Project H Design’s documentary, If You Build it, that follows a designer-activist duo’s journey with the sole prerogative of evangelizing design thinking to the poorest rural county in North Carolina. While the content presented in the toolkit aesthetically mirrors IDEO's Human Centered Design Toolkit system design, HCD jargon, and other visual elements.
Highly satirical, the Counter Change Toolkit reveals the potential responses or notions within a community that is experiencing a proposal for change.
