Favorite quotes from this talk See all
The first step is getting over yourself, just try to be a good citizen, be a good helper, just do the basic things, and in that way, you’re in the service of a good message.
I really like the idea of designers changing the world, but I'd really just like to see them change San Francisco.
Design is neutral. When they say "design" what they really mean is "money."
We just can't assume that technology will fix all of the country's problems.
Talking to a designer about design is like talking to a brick wall about bricks.

Nice job !
Phantastic Presentation. I would love to invite Jennifer Daniel to teach in our new Master program Design Future Society https://www.facebook.com/joint.master.degree/. It seems that we built up this program around Jennifer´s topics. It would be great if we can get in contact.
Great presentation! We could really use this 'real talk' in every language, subtitles perhaps?...
