9. How to Change Your World (Or at Least Your Part of It) with Socially Conscious Design - HDC

Speaker


Description
Have you ever sat at your job and thought, “Is this it? Isn’t there more?” Everywhere you turn in the design world people are talking about “doing good.” There’s a never-ending supply of blog posts, magazine articles, books and conference talks on the subject and images of gorgeous non-profit projects are a mouse click or page turn away. But no one really tells you, in practical terms, how to make socially conscious design part of your day-to-day work life. Until now. Noah Scalin, founder of one of the first socially conscious design firms in the country, Another Limited Rebellion, and co-author of The Design Activist’s Handbook, will share the lessons he’s learned over his nearly 20-year career in the field. He will discuss the practical realities of choosing to work from an ethical perspective, provide helpful tips that led to his own success, and share the lessons he’s learned interviewing his fellow socially conscious designers in the field. Find out how you can become a design activist today and still keep a roof over your head.
