The last two decades have meant a qualitative leap in the creation of technology that has changed our lives together with the understanding that has created unwanted effects affecting us as individuals and as a collective. In addition to that, this period ends with two years of an industry struggling to leave behind a deep crisis, layoffs, and find a new path. Altogether it is perfect timing for designers to make a deep reflection about what’s needed for us before moving forward in the next twenty years. Join Aitor on a walk to get some insights into how designers can adapt to play a main role in companies to create more impactful, positive, balanced, and meaningful products and services for their customers.
