Hello PH! 👋✌️ For all of you interested in humane technology, here's a pragmatic tool to help you design and develop technology that supports human flourishing, based on science. As a designer, I was always moved by the wish of doing good. After over a decade serving the design and tech industry as a designer and creative director, I enrolled in a psychology post-graduation to acquire a deep understanding of well-being and human development. As a result of my research, I developed the Human Flourishing Design Guide. Taking an evidence-based approach, I found in the psychology of well-being the scientific foundation to guide our technology design decisions. More precisely, the HFDG is based on Martin Seligman’s PERMA model of well-being and flourishing, the VIA Character Strengths and Virtues classification, and it is inspired by practices of positive psychology therapy and interventions. I knew from my own experience as a designer that, in order to be adopted, the guide should be compatible with the fast-paced methodologies of contemporary tech development (rapid development, lean methodology, design sprints, etc). Therefore, the HFDG was designed as a pragmatic tool to helps us, technologists, to integrate all this science immediately and effortlessly into our work, with little to none learning curve. The HFDG is free and distributed under Creative Commons copyrights.
