Keynote #1
Emotionally connecting to the next 50 years
society

2.
My work gives me the privilege to listen
to a wide experience of emotion

Listening in to authentic emotion
gives us deep insight into narrative
It is prevailing narrative that will give us
insight into the future

Designing for impact requires us to
similarly connect to the stories that make
any one intervention resonant and relevant
if we can change the story, we can impact
the future

today, a leader for the 21st century.

Too often the designer brings the skills.
But he doesn't bring the narrative.
Yet, it is the mastery of narrative that transforms the
designer to an artist.
An artist to a change maker.
