Abstract:

Good design draws people together through empathy, authenticity and meaning, beyond aesthetics, functionality and efficiency. My sharing will focus on how good design and leadership transforms and addresses major issues. I will draw upon cases relating to mobility and transportation and other user-centred design projects to demonstrate the power of design thinking and highlight how problems should be framed and attempted using human-centred design approach.
