Happy to announce that the skeuomorphic design newsletter is now a part of the Smithsonian Cultural Rescue Initiative.

Morally Unfit Design is a diaspora-focused accelerator for Iranian & Israeli innovation.

We design evidence-based, limbic-capitalism free product & service experiences—built for human dignity, not ideological compliance.
Combating subversive & direct attacks on design educators is not a "political luxury".

Steve Jobs would be “morally unfit” to lead Apple in 2025.
