Design Conversations featuring Jessica Kartes

Design Conversations is a lecture and networking series hosted by the Columbus Design Collective, bringing together designers and design-curious professionals from across disciplines. Join us for our first event featuring Jessica Kartes, Principal and Founder of Storyboard. In her talk, Design, Civic Engagement, and Why Everyone Should Get an Art Degree, Jessica will explore the intersection of design, play, and data, and reflect on how her studio art training informs the creation of authentic and meaningful community engagement experiences. Drawing from over a decade of public and private sector urban planning experience, she will share insights on honest representation, storytelling, and the role design plays in shaping civic life. The evening will begin with informal networking, followed by the lecture and discussion. Designers, students, and anyone with an interest in design are welcome to attend. All design disciplines are encouraged to join.
