World-building is something we associate with authors, cinematographers and video game designers — we constrain our creativity to fictional universes that exist behind screens or in the pages of books. Choosing writing, film or coding as your world-building medium feels so… possible.

It’s easy to forget that the world we wake up to, complain about, and exist in every day is a world we can influence.
