Description: A worldwide call for solutions from the World Design Organization, IBM Design, and Design for America.
Designers are needed now more than ever. Whether by creating useful products, enhancing experiences, or improving service delivery, designers are trained to bring a human-centered approach to solutions that address ever changing needs.
Today, the entire planet is focused on solving the unprecedented challenges brought by the Coronavirus pandemic. From addressing immediate needs of minimizing virus transmission to the long-term of helping communities rebuild after the pandemic, the broad range of skills in designers—conducting research, brainstorming ideas, building and testing prototypes, and crafting compelling messaging—will be instrumental in overcoming COVID-19.
