OXMAN is rethinking design to empower a future of complete synergy between Nature and humanity.

For the first time in our planet’s history, the anthropomass—the mass of human-made goods—now outweighs the biomass—the mass of all living things. In pursuit of our own technological advancement, humanity has rapidly unraveled what has taken Nature billions of years of evolution to create, resulting in a threat to the continued viability of life on Earth.

Humanity is a part of Nature, yet the world we have designed has created a rift between us. It is now our responsibility to heal it.

OXMAN proposes the creation of design solutions by, for, and with Nature while advancing humanity. This holistic approach demands that we design across scales and kingdoms for systems-level impact.

Categorical delineations between climate change and global pandemics, loss of biodiversity and loss of empathy for one another give way to authoring systems that address manifold challenges. In doing so, we open ourselves up to moving beyond mere maintenance toward the radical betterment of Nature.
