From Artifact to Transformation
*****
Our world becomes increasingly more interconnected and the frequency of change continues to accelerate.  What roles can designers play in this evolving cultural context?   How can we shift the perspective of our craft and practice to make broad and meaningful impact with our work? 

In this talk, Henry will explore the different trajectories of design, design thinking, and the interface between design and other professions.

Henry believes the richness of solutions evolves from a combination of an honest and open collaborative process and rigorous execution.
