About Sonja Jazic (she/her)

Profile
Sonja is passionate about... design and culture, service design methodologies, service design thinking, innovation, design education, co-design and value proposition

Hello my name is Sonja! I am a Senior Project Lead at the Service Design Network (SDN) and have been part of the SDN HQ team since 2018. In my role, I oversee and drive several of the network’s key initiatives, including SDN Membership, SDN Chapters, the Service Design Award, and Service Design Day.
With a strong focus on building meaningful connections and fostering collaboration, I am passionate about strengthening the global service design community. My work is dedicated to creating opportunities for practitioners, organizations, and local chapters to share knowledge, celebrate excellence, and grow together as a profession.
As part of the SDN HQ team, I am committed to advancing the impact of service design worldwide by supporting our members, nurturing chapter development, and championing the achievements of our community through flagship events and recognition programmes.
To me, service design means...
For me, service design is an amazing tool to make the world a better place. It enables us to design with empathy, inclusivity, and sustainability in mind — ensuring that the solutions we create benefit not just individuals or organizations, but society as a whole. This belief fuels my commitment to supporting the global community of practitioners who are using service design to address complex challenges and create meaningful impact.
