Design Stories: Building Relationships Through Empathy with Blake Clark

What does a church have to do with design?

Empathy is a word that has become synonymous with UX and Design, almost to the point of being cliche. But that doesn't make it any less important. Join us as we hear stories about how one local pastor uses empathy to meet people where they are in life and show people what it means to truly love and accept your neighbor. His stories will help us to see how we can take empathy beyond our "users" and help us improve how we get work done.

About Blake Clark
After ministering in Tennessee, North Carolina and Arizona, Blake moved to St. Pete, Florida in 2007 to serve as a youth minister. Over the next five years, while working in the community with students, Blake fell in love with the city and people of St. Petersburg. After a year and a half of Sabbath and rest while focusing on hearing and speaking to God, Blake returned to St. Pete to start Radius Church in September of 2014.

Blake loves people and has a gift of communicating both vision and the Word of God. He is excited to lead this group of Jesus followers who strive to be on mission and show the tangible love of God in their community.
