Service Design DC is back for the third year of its popular DC Design Week lightning talks! Join us for a series of cross-disciplinary, rapid-fire presentations that will showcase unique perspectives on the notion of resilience — and how design inherently fosters quicker, more successful recovery from adversity for individuals and communities.
Our speakers will regale us with case studies, methods, frameworks, and philosophies that we’re sure will inspire new ideas and ways of thinking about your own work. As always, there will be ample time for Q&A and discussion.
Speakers:
- Linda Hoopes, President, Resilience Alliance
- Megan Marini, Principal, Director of Strategy and Outreach at 3x3
- Chris Spirito, Nuclear Cyber Security Consultant, Idaho National Laboratory
- Charlie Nickerson, Nuclear Cyber Security Analyst, Idaho National Laboratory
- Eric Plunkett, Human-Centered Design Consultant, Rios Partners
- Chloe Varelidi, Founder, Follies Toys & Humans Who Play Design Studio
- Frankie Abralind, Executive Director, The Good Listening Project
