Join us for The Creative Shake-Up—a free, 10-day challenge to energize your creative practice. Details: https://lnkd.in/gvaSVpMh The challenge runs weekdays, November 2-13. Each day you’ll receive a short prompt designed by a d.school instructor to get you out of your head and paying attention to things differently. The activities should take you about 15-20 minutes. Some will feel a little strange. That’s the point. You’ll practice noticing things you might normally miss, making without overthinking, and sitting with uncertainty long enough to find something useful in it. The challenge is free and open to anyone. Sign up at the link for details by email, or check out our posts and join the conversation here.

“The danger of AI to Design isn’t the technology itself. It’s the condition the technology arrives into.” As AI fundamentally reshapes how humans and technology interact, Shani Sandy, VP of Experience Design at IBM, offers a clear message for designers: the field has tied its value to the commerce engine, and AI is holding up a mirror to that position. At IBM, Shani works to build a design practice that makes great design possible, holding space for creativity even when time, resources, and the pace of change conspire against it. Last fall, Shani joined us for the d.school’s 20-year anniversary celebration to share more of her perspective on design. Watch now and learn more at the link. https://lnkd.in/g5uwThex

Creative Essentials Book Club feat. Andrew Evans - See what you can get away with: https://lnkd.in/gfwB2cYR Andrew is the creator and founder of The Magic Patio, a magic speakeasy tucked in a hidden corner of San Francisco. A graduate of Stanford's d.school, he spent years at IDEO before turning his design training toward illusion. He now works with organizations to explore where magic, design, and creativity intersect. Drawing on his years designing wonder for a living, Andrew will share how permission — the kind you give yourself, and the kind you engineer for others — is often the real engine behind original work, and how testing the edges of what's "allowed" can unlock ideas that playing it safe never will.
