HCD Manchester: Designing for good

WHEN
FROM
WHERE

Addressing the most pressing concerns of our time, overcoming obstacles and creating a better tomorrow are all crucial tasks for designers. How can we create products and services that positively impact both people and the world around us?

Now more than ever, we need to be more conscious of our work’s social and environmental impact and how to make choices that reflect our personal values.

Join us at Human-Centred Design Manchester for a discussion about the role of ethics in design, featuring a panel that will share their experiences with a focus on designing for good and how to integrate ethical considerations into your work.

We have curated a panel to discuss and debate questions like:

  • What is preventing us from making products and services ethical?
  • How can we embed sustainable practices into our services or businesses?
  • Are we doing enough to educate creators and decision-makers?
  • How do we make it simpler to make ethical services and products?

There will be plenty of opportunities to share ideas and ask questions so come prepared to be engaged and inspired.

The panel

  • Elizabeth Newell – Head of Design at Creative Concern
  • North Kuras – Senior UX Architect at BBC
  • Adam Costello – Founder at InlandSea
  • Charlotte Holroyd – Founder at Creative Wilderness

Directions

You know where Fred Aldous is on the corner of Stevenson Square? You’re best to start there. Head around the Sevendale House building, past Soup Kitchen onto Spear Street. About halfway down the street, you’ll find a large, locked gate – that’s us!
