Chapter events - United States

Join us for a deep dive into the unique challenges, practices, and roles that service designers play in the non-profit sector.

Join us for a deep dive into the unique challenges, practices, and roles that service designers play in the non-profit sector. This event will be an interactive panel discussion with Susannah Staats, Director of Service Design at Playworks (a non-profit that helps kids build social and emotional skills through play), and Annemarie Spitz, Design Research Lead at Greater Good Studio (a social impact design firm based in Chicago). Together, their combined experiences will shed light on the differences between practicing service design at a non-profit and providing service design services to non-profits. Jenny Kempson, design lead for AdaptivePath.org, will moderate.


There will be plenty of time for audience questions and discussion. Don't be surprised if you end up taking part in a live demo of social-centric service design methods. 


Collective Health will be our co-host for this event. As always, there will be lots of networking, nibbles, and refreshments. We hope to see you there!
