Who We Are

For nearly twenty years, Una’s work has been dedicated to answering the question, what does justice in design look like? Through her practice and organizing work, she attempts to use design to build the world we need, while also pushing the design field to be accountable for its impact on the world we live in. She instigated the creation of a set of shared principles for design justice, which led to her co-founding the Design Justice Network, an international community of thousands of designers and people impacted by design. She helped coin the term "consentful tech" and created a feminist framework for consent in technology that has resulted in a cultural shift in conversations about privacy and security. In addition to serving as creative director at And Also Too, she is the design director at Allied Media Projects.

Una has been a visiting designer at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, a presenter at the Toronto Biennial of Art, a fellow at UC Berkeley’s Center for Technology, Society, and Policy, and a recipient of a Royal Society of Arts award.
