**Open design welcomes the free exchange of ideas, knowledge, processes, and tools. It empowers by lifting barriers to innovation. It opens the door to scaling design projects by distributing adaptable resources.**

## A balance of independence and collaboration

Open source projects are often driven by global communities. These hubs of learning and building allow you to carve an individual niche. Align yourself to projects based on your passions, talents, interests, and beliefs. Your work becomes a voluntary public contribution toward common goals. Some projects are also supported through grants and donations.

Thousands of projects have borrowed ideas, techniques, and code from Bitcoin. Countless open-source experiments have arisen. To a designer, Bitcoin is a robust foundation for collaboration. A foundation that comes with a responsibility toward the benefit of society.

This ethical responsibility encompasses application design. Most people interact with applications instead of the underlying Bitcoin technical protocol. If someone controls access to an application, it won't matter if the protocol is open. It is up to the global community to build principled Bitcoin applications.

Bitcoin is a protocol created to give access to anyone. Access and accessibility go hand in hand. Designing Bitcoin products means working on removing barriers of entry. It means making decisions to create a unique balance of features for ease of use. You should design for a specific audience at the same time as giving the widest access.
