Lecture: “The Service Designers,” June 10
April 14, 2009
Join us for the next in our lecture series featuring four speakers giving four talks in forty minutes. This month’s topic:
“The Service Designers”
While far more attention is still paid to the design of products, there is an argument to be made that we’ve entered a service economy. It’s not only products that are designable experiences; services are creating new challenges for designers and are increasingly demanding attention. As the line between products and services blurs (if it ever was there before), the emergence of service design has risen to demand a need for new ways of working to make for more meaningful services—whether those services are tangible, intangible, or a combination. Four designers engage in 10-minute discussions about the service sector and its different design challenges. Featured Speakers:
Speakers
- Jennifer Bove, Principal, Kicker Studio
- Chenda Fruchter, Assistant Commissioner, Director of Content & Agency Relations, Department of Information Technology and Telecommunication, New York City
- Sylvia Harris, Information Design Strategist
- Jun Lee, Partner, ReD Associates, New York
