Abstract
By considering the system of interactions and experiences at SVD, I identified a series of themes and milestones for the men which led to the development of a designed value object. A value object can refer to that which creates value for the user. In this case, the object created a value proposition, working to celebrate the milestones that these men reach in their journey of change supporting the possibility of an alternative future for the men – a future without violence.
Keywords: design activism, design for social good, value object, communication design, perpetrators of domestic violence
