About This Event

Human-centered design, already a form of activism, is becoming more so via developments in purpose-driven design, social impact design, value-based design, inclusive design, design through collective action, & even design thinking. Such reframings are being embraced in a wide range of organizations.



Why is this happening? Who is embracing such reframings? How do they reflect a greater activist perspective? Where do they (most) need to be applied?



Join as San Francisco Bay Area design leaders working in multiple contexts answer such questions & advise on how you and/or your organization can use those insights.

About the Panelists


Susan Wolfe Photo





UX consultant / mentor / educator



In her 30+ years in the field, there's probably no user experience design challenge that Susan hasn't seen. In both San Francisco & Sydney, Susan has practiced UX design, run consultancies (including her most recent venture, OEStrategy), mentored project teams around the globe, introduced UX design practices & cultures into organizations, & trained the next generation of practitioners. In years past, she established & managed in-house UX teams within software, hardware, & services companies in the Silicon Valley. Susan has worked across a wide range of industries & platforms, working with start-ups to long-established companies, with small budgets to large, ensuring that their products & services are not merely usable, but also useful, desirable, engaging, valuable, findable, accessible, & credible, too. The secret of her success comes from not merely considering the principles of design, but from taking a holistic service design perspective & by applying the most appropriate user-centered design thinking techniques to identify the issues & quickly innovate to create the optimal experience.
