Designing for 1.5c, exploring wellness and innovation for a more sustainable lifestyle
In celebration of NYCxDESIGN, an annual city-wide celebration that fuels New York City and enriches the world, this year, Splashlight Studios is partnering with GFX, IRK Magazine, and Future Meets Present to host a conversation about the role of design and wellness in achieving climate goals - specifically: living a 1.5-degree lifestyle.
Hosted at the beautiful Splashlight Studio in Tribeca, this event will include music, drinks, and a panel conversation that explores both, the individual actions as well as systemic changes required to achieve this goal.
We will serve light snacks and non-alcoholic drinks before the panel discussion and wine after.
Who should attend? Anyone who is seeking to demystify climate solutions including:
Entrepreneurs
Designers
Students

Justin Wolff
CEO of Junk Theory
In 2023, Justin launched his second brand, JunkTheory, which aims to end the plastic era in beauty – a category that produces over 100 billion pieces of plastic packaging per year. Clean skincare, he believes, should start with healthy formulas, but must also consider what those formulas come packaged in. JunkTheory is the first clean skincare line where nothing goes in the trash, and everything is packaged in metal – the most recycled material on earth.
