products, and how they assess the ethical significance
or moral worth of the products that result from the
activity of designing.”

Unintentional
is not an excuse
-Victor Papanek
You are responsible for what
you put into the world. And, 

you are responsible for the
effects those things have
upon the world.
What’s the worst 

that could happen?
James Liang
Designers need to 

understand the potential
consequences of their actions
FXD 2019 Keynote: Andy Vitale, SunTrust Bank
Embed Responsibility
into Your Process
Typical Design Discovery
Identify the problem
Identify user needs
Understand workflow and context
What can go wrong?
What if it’s used by different
people, or the wrong people?
What if it’s used in a different
context or another purpose?
Who can access the design?
Who can’t?
