An Undesigned World

Published on

Presented by Jason Ulaszek on April 14, 2016 at the UX Poland conference in Warsaw, Poland (http://www.uxpoland.com).

More and more, designers are being asked to help businesses make important decisions. Our ability to connect the disconnected and see the unseen is increasingly valuable in generating new opportunities and boosting commercial value. In part, the growth of the design industry’s value is being driven by businesses realizing that every great experience is designed - we’re helping render the intent of the next great phone, killer mobile app or customer service interaction into reality. At times, it feels we’re spending an exorbitant amount of energy and resources to design for the next greatest “thing”. While we admirably practice our craft on these design challenges for business, we must also recognize the rest of the undesigned world before us.

Why are we allowing so many social systems’ experiences to exist ineffectively or even excruciatingly painful?

As designers, we owe ourselves the opportunity to fall in love with these problems and mold a response into something better for ourselves, family and friends, neighbors and community. We must be more human-centered, not simply follow a human-centered methodology. It's time we leverage more of our skill for an even higher purpose: solving the world's most pressing social challenges.

This talk examines the unique value and power of designers and design thinkers to impact social change. It will provide case studies, current examples and inspiration for designers aspiring to leave a bigger imprint on society.
