Time(s)

April 10, 2020

Description

Design has always been about problem solving. But the scale and complexity of the problems designers face is at an all-time high as we consider designing solutions that are ethical, inclusive, and sustainable.

Now more than ever, designers need to be accountable for the decisions we make and understand the lasting impact our designs leave behind.

Key takeaways from the session:

• What it means to design ethical, inclusive, and sustainable solutions
• Real-world examples of how thinking responsibly could have improved design outcomes
• How to embed responsibility into the design process
• Best practices for designing products with responsible intent
