The San Francisco chapter of SDN is here to facilitate service designers to meet, learn, and further their careers as well as the discipline of service design. We hope to solicit papers and research studies for Touchpoint and to encourage San Francisco chapter members to submit proposals for and to attend the annual conference.

Mingzhu He
Mingzhu He -

Ming is a mission-driven innovation strategist, researcher, and community builder. She collaborates with cross-functional teams (in startups and large corporations alike) to design services and products that serve human and planet needs. Taking a systems lens, she believes that humans and machines can co-evolve. However, many current social systems need to catch up with this acceleration cycle in intelligent technology innovation. To bring balance, she aims to always bring a human-centric and life-sustaining perspective to holistically align human, planet, tech, and business goals through research and experimentation. As a local leader for the Service Design Network she finds ways to engage and support communities of design professionals to apply their craft to solve pressing social and environmental issues.
