We all know how impactful great design can be for businesses or customers, but what about using it for a more civic purpose? Design for the common good has been in practice for eons, but we are only learning how to harness the mechanics and process of design-thinking towards good for humanity. We'll spend this evening hearing from design leaders about how they have found inspiration, passion, and prosperity working to improve our society as we know it.

As usual, we'll have refreshments and snacks to keep your bellies and brains bubbling. Our host for the event is Intuit (http://intuit.com) in Mountain View. Our speakers and panelists for the evening include:

Dana ChisnellCo-Director, Center for Civic Design (http://civicdesign.org/)
Dana will walk us through service design applied to local and county government electoral processes and the outcomes. From gaining a real understanding of pre-election questions, to re-designing and providing a better template for pre-electoral information packs, there are no more "hanging chads" in the future Dana envisions.

This is big data at it's best applied to the oldest and hardest working entrepreneurs on the planet. FBN is Google Ventures backed and John will walk through how GV "design sprints" kept them "out of the weeds" and designing an experience that's "dirt" simple.
