What's Next?

Jenn & Ken Visocky O’Grady

About this video

Description

Jenn and Ken have two decades of experience as designers, writers and educators—and, as an unexpected by-product, fairly solid pep-talk skills, which they use on students, alumni, colleagues and sometimes each other. Turns out everyone is a little over-extended, under-praised and not sure who they want to be when they grow up. If the never-ending challenge of “What’s Next?” is too frequently on your mind, join us for a conversation about how designers can turn their systems thinking, design facilitation, brainstorming and visualization talents on themselves and plan for a more satisfying career experience and work/life balance.
