Designers Ariel Sim and Zahra Ebrahim are championing a groundbreaking shift in design philosophy, moving from human-centred approaches to incorporating the more-than-human world as a stakeholder. Their work emphasizes the need to recognize and engage with the broader ecosystems we inhabit, where plants, animals, and even entire ecosystems collaborate in unseen yet vital ways.

This shift challenges traditional design frameworks, rooted in a human-centric lens, and calls for a multispecies paradigm that acknowledges our interdependence with nature.
