Steve's talk will be a journey into what he calls the world's biggest design research opportunity - informal economies, a grey legal zone that employs two-thirds of the world's population. These informal innovation centers, located around the globe, represent a constant search for creative solutions with the potential to transform formal industry and government. </SPAN></P>

As a Design Lead for IBM's design leadership team (ibm.com/design), Steve is responsible for driving a culture of design and innovation throughout the company. He is also the Founding Director of Makeshift (www.mkshft.org), a magazine and think tank dedicated to uncovering creative solutions at the economic fringe. Previously at IBM Research, Steve received awards and patents for his work on Smarter Cities, the Watson question-answer system, an SMS App Store for emerging markets, and enterprise crowdfunding. He is the author of Making Do, which catalogs his research on Kenya's jua kali roadside engineering culture. He has spoken at TED, PopTech, and the New York Forum.</SPAN></P>
