I recently had the pleasure of presenting at the TEDx Art Center Design for Social Impact conference in Pasadena, CA. This student-organized event was one of the best produced and most content-rich one day design events I have been a part of. The speaker roster was packed with some of my favorite design thinkers including Terry Irwin, Allan Chochinov, and Cameron Tonkinwise, as well as a few new favorites whom I had never met before like IDEO.org Fellow Robin Bigio, artist Victor Hugo Zayas, and designer/musician Spencer Nikosey. Congratulations to student co-chairs Erik Molano, Mariana Prieto and the entire student planning committee. Here’s the video of my presentation:

It was good to see Doug’s TED talk with my senior design students at SCSU. The Professional Practice class were interested to hear about the alternative strategies, problems, opportunities and pitfalls of independent meaningful designing. The talk conveyed an understanding of complexities and some clues for navigating them. Very helpful. Thanks for articulating the issues. We learned from you.
