# Change-Focused Creative Coalitions Moving Design is a Chicago-Based Collective For Progress By Rebecca Byers | Published 2013-04-24 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moving-design References: [forbes](http://www.forbes.com/sites/ashoka/2013/04/16/sustainability-by-design/) & [movingdesign](http://www.movingdesign.com) Moving Design is a Chicago-based sustainability-focused [art and design coalition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/access-coalition) dedicated to enabling a culture of communication where our most pressing social issues are concerned. In working with community leaders, this group of designers and artists seek to inspire change through the power of design, combining artistic pursuits and the desire to do good. Moving Design's latest intervention portrays the coalition's pursuit of sustainability is the Use Less/Do More campaign, in which designers were asked to respond creatively after being prepped on the environmental and social challenges of Chicago. This new model of designing for impact is an effective way of shedding light on social issues that may often remain unseen and unheard. **Contact Information** Moving Design [website](http://www.movingdesign.com) Moving Design on [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/movingdesign) Moving Design on [Twitter](http://twitter.com/movingdesign/) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sustainability-focused Design:** Opportunity to create innovative design solutions that address environmental and social challenges. - **Designing for Impact:** Opportunity to use design as a powerful tool for shedding light on social issues and inspiring change. - **Collaborative Creative Coalitions:** Opportunity to form alliances and partnerships with designers and artists to tackle pressing social issues. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** Industry that can leverage creativity to address sustainability and social challenges. - **Community Engagement:** Industry that can work with creative coalitions to inspire change and tackle social issues. - **Communication and Marketing:** Industry that can utilize design for impact campaigns to raise awareness and advocate for social causes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Emerging London Designer Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powershift-exhibition.md) - [Diverse Leadership Inanities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/change-collective.md) - [Interconnected Design Retrospectives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-system.md) - [Creative Career Networks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designwhiz-v2.md) - [Adaptive Community Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spaced-agency.md) - [Colorful Aerial Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clean-power-campaign.md) - [Innovation-Focused Furniture Design Collectives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-collective.md) - [Public Design Biennial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exhibit-columbus-2025.md) - [Artful Collective Design Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dudd-haus.md)
