Timeless Human Design

Portland Design Thinkers is excited to present Tom Briggs: Timeless Human Design

In a world that is drowning in data, humanity stands infatuated with the immediate. Culture mining offers design thinkers an antidote to the demands of 24/7, "ever-faster" technocracy. By acknowledging that there's nothing new under the sun and examining timeless historical lessons through a modern lens, we can discern a wiser path forward.

About our speaker:
Tom Briggs is founder of epigraph, a strategic design collective that blends culture, history, and data in service of disrupted and disruptive organizations of all scales across diverse industries. As a published and internationally cited design researcher, Tom Briggs is a Center for Creative Leadership graduate, altMBA graduate, and in the past has taught Introduction to Design Strategy at Oregon State University. An active mentor at Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator, New York City's largest startup incubator, Tom enjoys helping values-led brands identify and articulate their distinctive purpose, values, and mission in order to better forge sustainable competitive advantage. A graduate of Gonzaga University, Tom calls SW Portland home with his wife, two boys, and standard poodle Rousseau.
