editor’s pick: when debera johnson attended design school, she was taught to \u201cmake it beautiful and you\u2019ve done what it is to be a designer.\u201d as executive director of the pratt design incubator<\/a> in brooklyn, ny, johnson has expanded this guiding principle to focus on design’s impact on the world. in order to take designers and make them what johnson calls \u201cdesign entrepreneurs,\u201d the incubator focuses on teaching models for sustainable business<\/a>. students focus on key elements of sustainability: resource use, ecological impact, human health impact, social equality and lastly economic viability.<\/em><\/p>\n

the vision of “the incubator” is to capture the innovative thinking of our students and turn great ideas into viable businesses that also consider the environmental and social impact as a part of their “triple” bottom line. to date we have supported the launch of over 30 businesses – in five sectors; product design, clean energy, fashion, design consulting and social innovation. these companies are developing green products, green jobs and a green economy by offering space, a community that shares values that define success, and access to educational resources and mentorship that tie together business expertise with sustainable best practices that support growing businesses that consider the environment and society from the outset.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
