Charlie Smith ( http://www.therealchucksmith.com/) is my best friend. We've known each other for almost a quarter century. And our lives have run in an uncanny parallel ever since we met. Additionally (and in no particular order) Charlie is a director, designer and educator. Charlie works in innovation consulting (https://www.salesforce.com/ignite/) , combining motion design and video with human-centered methodologies to capture, interpret, and curate qualitative design research into concise, empathy-driven, human stories that change hearts and minds. Charlie also teaches Video Storytelling at the IIT Institute of Design (https://id.iit.edu/) , where he helps students sharpen their narrative video skills, shape audience-focused stories, and explore storyboarding, camera and production workflows. Little known detail: Charlie is a closet sneakerhead (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sneaker_collecting) . He got into the hobby as a way of intentionally doing something fun for himself after settling into fatherhood. As a designer, he's interested in the sneakers from fashion and product design standpoint, but what he's more intrigued with is the psychology and commerce ecosystem surrounding it all. If you need help identifying dope kicks, he's your guy. Charlie is dad to his 4-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter. This episode feels less like an interview and more like a phone call between best mates. We skip the formalities of the show to dive right into our parallel struggles and compare notes as only pals could. We talk about our kids' media consumption, the psychological benefits of taking the long view on things, and how critical it is to team up with your partner first and remember your kids are part of your life—not the center of it. We also chat about the value of indulgence every once in a while. Keep up with Charlie → LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/chuck-smith/)

Panel event at The Art Institute of Chicago presented with IIT Institute of Design Upon its founding Moholy-Nagy referred to the New Bauhaus in Chicago as a "laboratory for a new education". As the New Bauhaus evolved into Institute of Design, his legacy of experimentation in education maintains through experiential, project-based learning and a commitment to prototyping. Over the past eight decades, ID's school-as-lab model has provided a forum to conceive new futures in healthcare, transportation, retail, finance, social services and computer-human interaction. The field of design has broadly adopted the human-centered approach grounded in the New Bauhaus as standard practice. Entirely new approaches to learning outside of traditional education models and infrastructures have been developed through the collaborative efforts of designers, entrepreneurs, artists, policymakers and others. This discussion will feature a multi-disciplinary group of panelists representing the academic, non-profit, and creative sectors. Patrick Whitney, Connie Yowell, Eric Ellingsen, and Dr. Melissa Gillian explore Moholy-Nagy's influential legacy of experimental education in Chicago. Panelists Eric Ellingsen Visiting Assistant Professor of Architecture, IIT College of Architecture Melissa Gilliam MD, MPH Professor of Obstetrics/Gynecology and Pediatrics, University of Chicago Patrick Whitney Distinguished Professor and Steelcase/Robert C. Pew Professor of Design, IIT Institute of Design Connie Yowell CEO, LRNG Moderated by Ashley Lukasik, Director of Corporate Relations, Communications, and Marketing at IIT Institute of Design.
IIT Institute of Design is formalizing a certificate option for students who wish to develop deeper expertise in social innovation through the pursuit of certificates like Non-Profit and Mission-Driven Management, Economic Development and Social Entrepreneurship, and Public Management. Students who obtain these certificates will gain cross-disciplinary knowledge of how public policy and philanthropy work, or how non-profits are structured, financed, and measured for success. In this interview, Shanti Mathew, ID’s first recipient of the Public Management certificate, she recognizes that “If I’m going to be embedded in a sector or field as complex as government agency or services there’s a lot I need to learn [about government, comparative political administrative systems, how government agencies are structured, how programs are evaluate].” This exposure will help her advocate more effectively for design and give her credibility to “talk about it in a way that adds value and that can build a bridge. That’s the kind of collaborative relationship we are looking for in this new world economy.”
