In this article, I learned about what is Okala Practitioner. “Okala Practitioner is a guide for designers from many disciplines to understand how to design more environmentally friendly products and services.” Okala means life-sustaining energy in the indigenous Hopi Language. Okala is not only about life –sustaining also it’s about economics wires. The goal for Okala is to increase people’s knowledge to understanding of what is the most significance design in the global economics. Learn thorough and designers can prepare with the business and market plan.
