Design for Impact and Action, presented by Pum Lefebure
How will you use your creative abilities to foster impact and change? It’s a question worth pondering as we navigate through our interconnected society.

Join Pum Lefebure as she explores designers’ profound power to unite, communicate, and inspire action. Discover how every creative endeavor, from small projects to large campaigns, has the potential to leave a lasting impact on your community.

Embark on a journey with Pum as she shares her own experiences showcasing how creative initiatives can rally support for local arts programs, challenge cultural norms, and pave the way for positive change no matter where you are.

Deep Simplicity, presented by Nicholas Law
Over the past 20 years, the average person has faced a growing complexity tax; their daily interactions with the world have grown more confusing.

While the internet has created infinite opportunities, it has also created chaos as people attempt to understand complex systems hiding behind opaque interfaces. What started as a promise of giving people more control has turned into a self-service environment that is baffling, time consuming, and particularly burdensome for disadvantaged communities.

How can design translate the potential of these systems into healthy human interactions. To help people understand and benefit from technology. To create possibility with simplicity.
