"Around The World" Potluck with Service Design Network (SDN)
🌿 About Event
Share your favorite cultural dish with Bay Area Service Designers and let us embark on an evening of gastro- and design-exploration!
Please bring yourself and something to share that represents a country or culture of your choosing. Together we'll go on a delicious journey "Around the World" by tasting each other's favorite international dishes. Between tasty appetizers and scrumptious desserts, we'll sprinkle in some design talk. :)
Service Design is a profession that's not very well known in the United States, so Service Designers have varying titles. System designers/engineers, operational designers, PMs, Strategy, Customer Experience professionals, UX, Business Analyst, etc. But basically we support in thinking across your products and services to build a holistic experience for internal stakeholders and external customers.
The Service Design Network (SDN) is the professional network for service designers. It's based in Europe, but has chapters all over the world. If you'd like to learn more, join us for this fun gastro experience to mingle and discuss what Service Design is and how it could support you - whether strategically, technically, or personally
We're excited to have you!

🏛 About The Commons
The Commons is a community-based "Fourth Place" that catalyzes each member's path to authenticity, full self-expression, and aliveness - rooted in the belief that community is essential to that journey. Located in the heart of San Francisco, we are redefining what it means to gather, work, and connect. By day, we're a playful co-working space; by night, a vibrant community meeting house.
