Creative Rituals: Designing for the New Normal | Nature x Design
World-leading designers Albert Shum and John S. Couch reveal their rituals for creativity during times of isolation.
Posted by TEALEAVES on Sunday, August 16, 2020
As we collectively experience a global pandemic, our systems, structures, and social mores are being put to the test. In this time of shelter and reflection, it has become imperative that we cannot simply go back to the way things were. What, then, are the new norms?
Seeking the silver lining of it all, we pose the ultimate design challenge. Running our sprawling framework through the rigorous thought process of the world’s greatest designers, how would they consider experience, materials, cost, and relationship to design a 2020 part two that is infinitely more equitable, accessible, sustainable, and conscious?
Join TEALEAVES in a moderated conversation with world-leading designers including Albert Shum (CVP of Design, Experiences & Devices Group at Microsoft) and John S. Couch (VP of Product Design at Hulu and author of “The Art of Creative Rebellion: How to champion creativity, change culture and save your soul”). This virtual event will reveal their rituals for creativity and methods for connection during times of isolation. The conversation converges on where we go from here. What are the considerations of “the brief for the new normal” which applies design concepts with the goal of achieving longstanding, coherent social impact?
