Designing Social Change from the Inside Out

You don't have to be a CEO or start your own thing to make a big impact. You can start by starting with yourself and your own team. By examining our behavior, our biases, our strengths, and the way we learn we can find many smaller opportunities to effect change and create impact within organizations both small and large. Our speaker Emily Lonigro will show you how her team restructured two key components of their dynamic to make things more efficient and focused on creating outcomes with impact rather than the process. These practices can be easily adopted regardless of your team's scale and grown within the larger design community. Drinks and light refreshments will be provided by our event partner IXDA Chicago! Thanks to CSG International for hosting! ABOUT Emily founded LimeRed in 2004 with a plan to prioritize high-quality design, user experience, and meaningful social impact. Her 15 years in business spans design, sales, operations, user experience, branding, marketing and strategy in both online and offline programs for multinational corporations, nonprofits, universities, startups, and consumer brands. LimeRed is a Design agency focused on social impact. We are a Certified B Corporation, WBE, and we walk the talk in every way. This isn’t an initiative or a new thing, it’s who we are and it contributes to our perspective, which turns into work that considers multiple points of view and contexts. Now, as people are looking for teams who question standards and build businesses and brands differently, we’re happy to show them a different way.
