We fall in love with products, but are those relationships actually healthy?

As / engineers / creators, it’s on us to build stuff that treat people (& the planet) right. Here’s my short @skillshare course on designing -worthy products 👇🏼

@brianpagan Sorry but from what I see here, it looks like a remix of Hooked with some sugar coat. Don't take it bad, but imho it looks like the course is mixing "love" and "seduction". To establish a love relation, maybe first thing would be to forget about the word "product" and replace it with "common"? Love is about giving, not persuading people and make them happy about their "frequent flyer" program when they actually should be reducing this wrong habit in order to preserve the earth. ❤️

@imacrea Thank you! And I agree with you.

I see design or creating for others in terms of a relationship. And what I see in the world, all the exploitative products and services out there, are unhealthy, abusive relationships.

This canvas is my ongoing attempt to make it super simple for product / service designers to make stuff for us for healthy relationships.

@imacrea So the point isn’t to persuade people to be happy with a shitty / wasteful product but to create a product that keeps providing people with meaningful value over time.

And Hook remix: that’s true - it’s a remix and slight extension. People have trouble with the “Investment” part of Hook, so I’ve expanded it here using Russo’s love model.

As I see it, we agree on what this should represent. How could I change it to help it resonate better? 🙏🏼 ❤️
