Today, the concept of Sustainability and Digital Design being codependent have transitioned to a more thorough reality. This presentation explores how Digital Designers can influence the sustainability dialogue through thoughtful service and product design.
From personal practices to organizational thinking, the talk will explore findings from the design academia and industry learnings to shine light on best ways to influence the sustainability equation of modern living.
The biggest motivation for the presentation is the speakers personal journey through designing products for the next billion internet newcomers. Designing in the context where impact of product is not only limited to ahaa moments but deeply linked to social and environmental consequences.
