Welcome to Fireside Chats with the Impact Guild where we are collecting and sharing stories of social innovation. You’ll hear the journeys of entrepreneurs, creatives and change makers who are bringing ideas to life. These are raw conversations where together we are asking questions, experimenting and exploring intersections. We hope by listening in, you’ll join the conversation.

In this Fireside Chat we sit down with Eric Dingus of PostIt Design along with Renato Mazziero and Claire Hevel of Buen Camino to talk about designing with communities. They share their journeys in the design world and why each of them got into this field. They define and demystify Human-Centered Design as a tool for problem solving by first and foremost understanding the people and communities we are designing with. And they give practical takeaways for how those of us in the entrepreneurial and startup worlds without designers or consultant budgets can apply these principles ourselves.
