Regret. Confess.&#8221; is an interactive installation that transforms a delivery truck into a mobile confession booth for the design community. Operating throughout Melbourne Design Week for 11 consecutive days, it invites designers to anonymously share their professional failures, ethical compromises, and career disasters\u2014creating a powerful counter-narrative to design&#8217;s typically polished public face. Using AI-powered voice recognition, confessions are captured, anonymized, and displayed briefly on a digital screen before disappearing forever. The project was presented by Chris Speed and Liam Fennessy alongside collaborators Miek Dunbar, exploring the tensions between design&#8217;s polished exteriors and its dirty interiors. Collected stories are compiled into a limited-edition publication printed with UV-unstable ink, symbolising both the erasure of failures and the ephemeral nature of design work. Free and accessible to all, the installation celebrates design&#8217;s capacity for both triumph and disaster, making space for honest dialogue within the creative community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/designregretconfess.com\">https:\/\/designregretconfess.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/chrisspeed.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/03Regret-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/chrisspeed.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/03Regret-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2974\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chrisspeed.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/03Regret-scaled.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/chrisspeed.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/03Regret-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/chrisspeed.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/03Regret-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Design Regret Confess\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nXyjvD937BU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Design.
