DesignShifts with Ida Persson
Join us for a STEPS session, where Jayavanthi Gayathri & John V Willshire will be in conversation with Ida Persson, a designer, strategist, and storyteller working at the intersections of systems change, sustainability, and inclusive design.
Together, we’ll explore DesignShifts, Ida’s collaborative learning journey that challenges conventional design practice and reimagines it as a force for reconnection, care, and regeneration. We’ll dive into how DesignShifts took shape, its grounding in both theory and practice, and the impact it’s making as a growing community and movement.
This conversation will be a behind-the-scenes look at the mindset shifts, experiments, and stories shaping the Design Shifts, and what it means to design for a more connected, regenerative futures.
