Reciprocity and Sustainability in Professional Design

Held as part of the New Communicators event series, this Green Salon Meetup is all about reciprocity and sustainability in professional design. Stacy Westbrook, a SHIFT 3 presenter, will lead a discussion about how designers can change the way they think about their work to create more sustainable business solutions and client relationships.

While we all strive to create a more sustainable present and future by changing our personal habits, how can we make our work and relationships with clients more sustainable? How does reciprocity – the act of responding in kind – influence and encourage sustainability in our professional work? How can our relationships with clients influence their business for the better and improve their practices? Come prepared to have a lively discussion!

About the event series

Our quarterly Green Salon Meetups are a place to exchange sustainable design ideas in an informal setting. Designers at all levels and backgrounds can to share thoughts and questions about how to incorporate sustainable practices into their work.

We all want to be better designers and better citizens. By keeping the conversation going, we can sort through the often confusing array of sustainable design practices, and also enhance how we talk about these ideas with clients.
