We need a new kind of designer, focused on problems of scale and the algorithms that can help — or exacerbate — matters. Historically, designers have improved the world through the thoughtful design of products, and — more recently — experiences. But these delightful moments mean little if we fail to design for the complex, dynamic, and increasingly tech-driven systems in which we now live. As designers, we need to start seeing ourselves as change agents. But what new skills are required to design in this future? And how do we develop our ability to think in systems and prototype possibilities?
