What we’re about

Design Thinking & Innovation (DT&I) is a community of creative people who seek to share their skill & knowledge to create a meaningful positive impact in the community. Our focus is designing for change and creating positive social impact using techniques in Human Centered Design (Design Thinking), UX & Lean.

Our mission is to create communities by educating, building relationships, establishing meaningful goals and seeking fieldwork in the community in Houston and beyond. We aim to connect interested individuals and learn about Design Thinking, Service Design, and User Experience. We encourage the sharing of knowledge during our events. We welcome individuals who have a passion for learning & personal growth but more importantly look forward to designing and developing better communities.

DT&I is the community of progressive brains about practicing the skills that could bring greater change. This is a forum to bring on people from processes, product and service design backgrounds. Come share the expertise you have if you already work in any of the above areas. If you are new to the design process then this is your place to learn new design approaches.

All Design Thinkers,

This presentation is our second exploration of technology with an entrepreneurial focus. While disruptive technologies like Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), Asset Tokenization, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be unfamiliar to some designers, they are reshaping business and design practice. This session aims to bridge that knowledge gap and inspire new perspectives on how these innovations can be strategically applied to drive new ventures and improve processes, ultimately impacting the future of human-centered design. We are honored to have the Subject matter expert Arushi Sood Joshi.
