A Design Thinker Reckons with Design Thinking by Tania Anaissie Welcome to Beytna

We facilitated groups of over 100 youth in each city to lead their own Liberatory Design projects over 6 months. We cannot dismantle a system unless we understand how it was designed (intentionally and unintentionally). When designing in the U.S., that means understanding how the status quo came to be — one that devalues our human, plant, and animal siblings in order to keep power in the hands of a handful of elites.

Mindsets and Modes to design for equity

Lucy is a member of the Design Justice Network, Cafeteria Collective, Equity Army, and AIGA. We're getting more confirmations of AMD's highly-anticipated Ryzen 9000 processors, this time by motherboard manufacturer Gigabyte that let slip the new naming scheme in a recent BIOS release. Scheduled for Season 11 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in 2025, Formula E and the FIA developed the car. The design is a significant advancement from the current GEN3 car in terms of power, and aerodynamics marking a 36% increase in speed over GEN3 and acceleration 0-60mph that is 30% faster than a current F1 car. With 30+ designers covering residential and dynamic commercial projects across prime real estate in the United States, our multifaceted service offerings encompass every stage of the design journey. As chairman and founder of sfa design since 1996, Sue has led the firm to complete acclaimed projects in destinations throughout the United States, U.A.E, Asia, and Mexico.

Liberatory Design (and Redesign)

It is important to Sue to create a comfortable and meaningful environment that elevates someone’s personal style without overtaking it. The best way to engage a community is to authentically involve them, while remembering that no one owes us their trust or time, and the best we can do is design an invitation with respect and humility, and be willing to listen to their feedback. I basically reached a point where I was having a “crisis” about how design was practiced, and I felt a strong pull to re-examine the whole thing to imagine it as a force for equity. Without deep self and systems-awareness, we often reproduce the same systems of oppression regardless of our intent. With the Stanford Life Design Lab, we co-created a curriculum review framework to filter existing content through an intersectional equity lens and to guide the creation of new equity-grounded content in the future.

What Is Today’s Strands Hint?

For PBS Kids stations, we supported local station teams from across the nation to conduct needs assessments with an equity lens and design invitations to engage their local communities in partnership. We led a week of trainings, talks, and workshops to equip local education leaders in Amman, Jordan to leverage Liberatory Design to create systemic change. We led a three-day intensive training to equip their business leaders with Liberatory Design as a tool for “DEI” organizational change and focused on redesigning performance evaluations. NACC is the creator of a best practices recommendations document that guides youth attorneys serving clients in the child welfare system across the country. They sought to redesign this recommendations list to reflect current needs and increase cultural relevance by partnering with those with lived experience in the system.

Swift’s current boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, seems to have inspired only two songs. There is little other information about the new processors yet, suggesting the launch is some months away, with most indications being sometime late in 2024. However, AMD's CEO Dr Lisa Su is to deliver the opening keynote at this year's Computex tradeshow in Taiwan - an even that many expect will see announcements about new AMD hardware including Ryzen 9000 processors. Milan may have been overflowing with crisp design, stylish designers, and creative installations during Milano Design Week recently. But I’m pretty sure no other installation got more attention, or was harder to pull off than what Azimut Yachts achieved when they moored a 57-foot-long Azimut Seadeck 6 in the swimming pool of the Bagni Misteriosi. Growing up in Malibu in the 1960’s, Sue spent the majority of her time immersed in nature, riding horses, hiking the Santa Monica Mountains, and getting lost in her thoughts amongst the tide-pools at Point Dune.

Liberatory Design helps us understand why and how an equity challenge exists, then design creative approaches to create more equitable outcomes. The Beytna Design team will present an overview of the Liberatory Design process, from reflection to inquiry to trying (and trying again). Another challenge of teaching design was the nature of project-based classes. While giving students real-life experience is deeply meaningful for their learning, it often is a source of harm for communities they step into. Built into the structure is a predetermined end date when students will drop the projects and have no responsibility beyond the duration of the course. It sets up a toxic working relationship and is like entering a relationship pre-determining you will break up in a month.

Think about ways to build trust with the community and learn from where they are, for example, Chris Rudd, a friend and amazing designer was working on a project related to shared public spaces in a neighborhood of Chicago. He wanted to involve folks living there in the synthesis of empathy interviews, so he set up a “synthesis station” with Post-Its in a shipping container to engage passersby and invite them to make sense of the learnings. He shared what his team was hearing and seeing and asked them to tell him what was relevant and important. This is about prioritizing the design’s impact on the community over the intentions of the designer.

If our goal is to support humanity, I argue that is social justice work. Sometimes the reaction I get is, “that makes sense for a project related to racism or something.” But the reality is it’s impossible for any project to be untouched by the intersecting racism, sexism, ableism, etc. In fact, it’s a myth White Supremacy Culture has invested in upholding. We designed and led an intensive training on how to practice co-design including our custom-designed Participatory Design Toolkit.

Together, we developed innovative ideas to support youth experiencing homelessness during the pandemic, families experiencing the benefits gap, and residents experiencing the digital divide. UWSL is a non-profit supporting networks to create scaled change to support half-a-million youth in Utah. To prototype, we build rough versions of what we’re working on to test key ideas. It can unleash our creative courage which will foster innovative approaches to address equity challenges. Seeing the System enables us to identify potential equity challenges, what about the system is producing these, and what we need to learn more about as we engage in empathy work.

Verde existed originally in his native New England primarily on the Island of Nantucket, where he lived for 20 years. A success as a design and build firm, it remains a strong presence. Drawn to California by the Pacific design aesthetic, natural beauty, and vibrant lifestyle, he excites in the possibilities. He has a strong background in zoning and participation on non-profit boards.

” This shift requires you to share power and act as an ally and/or facilitator. In the program, we occasionally heard from guest speakers who spoke about how design could be used for social good. I was so eager for more, but I was one of about four students in my class interested in Design Thinking for its social change potential. So with four peers, I co-founded our university’s Design for America chapter. This was a place where we could work on social change projects in the local community outside of class time.
