SXSW 2022

The Time to Design Our Futures is Now

Description:

The crises we’re being faced with – the economy, epidemic, environment and inequality – needs solutions that look beyond our current horizons. How can we combine design and foresight to help navigate us through them and start planning for multiple possible, plausible, probable, and ultimately preferred futures?

Designers hold the key to building better, healthier, more purposeful and equal futures for all. This talk will explain how designers can take a leadership role in reimagining the future by applying design thinking and future casting with a human-first approach, and why right now is exactly the right time for designers to dive in and take charge.
