Social Design

Aloha Serv Labbers!

Welcome to another virtual edition of our meetup. This month we’re focusing on social design hearing from people who have worked on social issues to create a better society for us. We’ll hear about using personal experiences in social design in an environment where social impact isn’t the focus, creating social impact through crowdsourcing and how our design choices within our cities help platform structural racism.

We will hear from:
Matteo Remondini - Service Designer at Idean
Gita Luz - Innovation Lead at Action for Children
Araceli Camargo - Lab Director at The Centric Lab

Full bios and description of the talks coming soon, some are here!
