Thank you!

Hi Everyone! I hope you're all enjoying today's Prototype For The Planet Designathon and feeling just as incredibly inspired and excited as I am this morning ... I cannot believe we're only still just a few hours into the day, but THIS is IT!

THIS is the way I firmly believe our work as Designers in Tech and Innovation — people concerned about The State of the World on SO many levels — people committed to delving into the myriad enormous 'existential threat-level' challenges we're facing at the local community, national, and international / global levels — I just KNOW in my heart, mind and soul that WE'RE The Force working in the world 'for good' and that THIS DESIGNATHON, and approaching The Work in a Problem First way, is THE WAY of BEING that Design and THE WORLD needs now more than ever.

So, thank you to all of the organizers, to Bentley's Experience Design Programs, to the Boston Chapter of IXDF, and to The Boston Climate Designers Community for making something truly extraordinarily focused on what we are perfectly positioned to do as Self-Empowered and Thoughtful Change Makers in and for The World.
