Christoph stands in front of a projected slide during his presentation, The slide displays six principles in bold text, each with a corresponding icon: 1. “CREATE CIRCLES, NOT LINES” 2. “PLAN WITH, DESIGN WITH” 3. “BE HUMBLE LEARNERS WHO PRACTICE DEEP LISTENING” 4. “CHOOSE CRITICAL CONNECTIONS OVER CRITICAL MASS” 5. “SEEK PEOPLE AT THE MARGINS” 6. “RECKON WITH THE PAST TO BUILD THE FUTURE”

Hassler urges designers to break out of the “ivory tower” & learn from fields like architecture, journalism, & craft.
To move beyond traditional design thinking & collaborate across disciplines to tackle complex, real-world challenges.
