WEBSITE (http://www.victorypints.com/) TWITTER (https://twitter.com/victory_pints) FACEBOOK (https://www.facebook.com/victorypints) Every Monday we bring some serious board game madness to Wild East Brewing from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. They like board games; we like board games... it's a match made in heaven! WHAT TYPE OF GAMES ARE PLAYED? All types. Real short bluffing games decorated with skulls and flowers. Cooperative games fighting horrible diseases. Classic euro games where you haggle over sheep and wheat. Whether you want to fight unspeakable horrors in Arkham or build railroads across America or rebuild your farm after the black plague (more fun than it sounds) you can probably find a game you would like. Some games you might see are 7 Wonders, Settlers of Catan, Pandemic, Dominion, Dixit, Puerto Rico, Eldritch Horror, Ticket to Ride, Carcasonne among many others. You're also welcome to bring any game you want to play! I DON'T KNOW THESE GAMES? IS IT COOL IF I COME? We're very friendly and if you have no idea what the hell we're talking about just trust us when we say it's ton of fun. We'll have tons of games and we're very happy to show you the rules. Hang out, haves some drinks, and learn a new game. Questions? Comments? Contact us at info@victorypints.com

SDNNYC: Systems Behind the Services

SDNNYC: Systems Behind the Services

Tue, Nov 10, 11:00 PM
From SDN New York Chapter (NYC Service Design Collective)
4.8

**Tuesday, November 10th, 6:00-8:00 PM EDT** **Presentation & Discussion** **Systems Behind the Services: How Design Systems and Service Design Make Each Other Stronger** Presented by **Mar Emilia** **Event Description** What do ferns, Romanesco, and your product’s button component have in common? They all get endless variety from a few reusable parts. Join me for a talk on design systems through a service design lens. We’ll trace how they grew from pattern languages and style guides into living systems, and look at what they do for products and services. Then we’ll ask the question that matters most for this community: what happens when service designers and design systems start working together? **About Our Speaker** **Mar Emilia** Mar is the Lead UX Designer at JPMorgan Chase in New York, where she leads a team focused on design systems and digital standards for the firm’s corporate web presence. Over 15 years, she has designed products and services for Samsung, P&G, Nestlé, Hewlett Packard, and Telefónica Innovation, working through every phase from research and ideation to prototyping and implementation guidelines. She holds a Master’s in Research for Design and Innovation from ELISAVA and has studied at SVA and The Fountain Institute.
