How do we interact when we can’t touch or get out of our house?
Matt Corrall, Pratik Jain
Overnight, Covid changed everything. Many personal gestures of goodwill, hugging, shaking hands, sharing space, are no longer available to us. We must reassess what we know about human behavior. What is the future of interaction?

Designing the Conditions for Equity – a human-centric approach to Ts&Cs
Phil Balagtas, Sebastian Shahfari-Ibler
There are myriad Terms & Conditions that govern the products and services we use on a daily basis. While these are all designed for usage, the contracts we sign off to use them don’t necessarily include a rigorous and inclusive human-centered approach. Let’s investigate various guidelines we agree to and apply a new design approach to these Ts&Cs

Beyond a convenient story: Being comfortable with 'incomplete'
Hrudaya Veena Yanamandala, Eliza McLellan
As designers we are often forced to tell just one story, to simplify the complex, and to produce things quickly. In healthcare, we solve for sticky problems and to create solutions we often pick the convenient story. This time we are not choosing the convenient route.

Delight is dead — be boring instead
Ryan Bigge

Ego-system to Ecosystem
Allison Bouganim
With the rise of new technologies, overpopulation, climate change, globalized economies, etc.- the systems that we are designing are increasingly more complex and interconnected. We need new, sustainable solutions to aid in these challenges that incorporate transdisciplinary perspectives. There is also an apparent need to shift the oddly myopic focus from humans in the center to humans in the middle and placing attention to the other areas impacted by our work. Systems Thinking, integrated into the Design Thinking process, appears to be a promising approach to this complexity and to address the unintended consequences of our designs.

We can’t empathize our way out of privilege
Ariba Jahan
Empathy is limited by the lens of our own privilege, biases, and lived experience, often completely different from the lived experience of the people we serve, especially during a pandemic. In this talk, I'll share how our team worked together during a project on unemployment benefit access to minimize harm and honor the lived experiences of the community we were in service to.
