It’s Just F(ric)king Design Next Week!
Joseph Carter-Brown is next week--Mon OCT 16 12-1 pm, UC 310
Continuing our Fall Speaker Series events, we are excited to have Joseph Carter-Brown join is next week--Monday, October 16 from 12 to 1 pm in University Center room 310--to talk about his journey joining concepts of design and entrepreneurship, and why it's necessary to be attuned to it all. If you're a design oriented individual looking for a little inspiration on how to hone your business side to be a better entrepreneur, this talk will be perfect for you. We can't wait to see you there!
Design is a broad specification with many disciplines, and naturally, with such an expansive set of tools, practices and thought processes, it can feel seemingly impossible to define. As a result, some have sought to create tightly controlled representations of what design actually is. However, this line of thinking can be to our detriment in the ever evolving design landscape; leaving design out of some rather important and influential conversations, when it could (should) have a bigger role in general. Why? Because design plays a role in pretty much everything we do.
In this talk Joe will discuss the importance of designers embracing their role as empathy dealers, and the core areas in which designers need to engage, be it as sales people, business leaders, or technologists...because in the end, it’s all just “fricking design”.

Speaker Series with Brad Smith REPLACED
Notice: The Speaker for our OCT 16 Speaker Series Changed
Due to scheduling conflicts, our October 16th Speaker, Brad Smith, will be unable to come to UMBC and talk about the realities of becoming an Entrepreneur.
While we're very disappointed, especially since we know many people were looking forward to attending, we're thrilled to have found someone willing to come speak at such last minute--Joseph Carter-Brown. His talk will be titled It's just F(ri)cking Design and will center around how, ultimately, everything will boil down to the trade.
As a pillar of the UMBC community, we're excited to be able to bring a STEM centered, innovative individual who can relate to the students he speaks to.
Just as before, this ENTR Speaker Series will be held on October 16 from 12 to 1 pm in University Center 310. Again, we apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. We hope Brad Smith may be able to join us in the future, but for now, we hope you come spend your free hour with the Alex. Brown Center and Joseph Carter-Brown in a couple of weeks.

It’s Just F(ric)king Design
ENTR Speaker Series with Joseph Carter-Brown
Design is a broad specification with many disciplines, and naturally, with such an expansive set of tools, practices and thought processes, it can feel seemingly impossible to define. As a result, some have sought to create tightly controlled representations of what design actually is. However, this line of thinking can be to our detriment in the ever evolving design landscape; leaving design out of some rather important and influential conversations, when it could (should) have a bigger role in general. Why? Because design plays a role in pretty much everything we do.
In this talk Joe will discuss the importance of designers embracing their role as empathy dealers, and the core areas in which designers need to engage, be it as sales people, business leaders, or technologists...because in the end, it’s all just “fricking design”.
