Open Tab № 02

The tools got easier. The thinking didn't. Meridian's open tab is a short-form talk series where designers share what they're exploring outside of work— a side project, a craft obsession, a question they're chewing on, something with no deliverable attached. Decks welcome, polish optional. Three speakers. 10 minutes each. Then the room.July's lineup Omar Mohammad, design and research at CAMEL • A windmill, earth mosque(s), a minaret, an airport, and a village: indigenous and vernacular architecture in AfghanistanEric Howard, co-founder of Direct Message, Hyperdeck, and Hard Objects • The Magic Button: Design in an era of extreme automationMichelle Chang, founder of Seafoam Studio • DaaS (dance as a service), Using service design to create joy through movement Program- 6:30pm doors open- 7:00pm intro hellos- 7:10pm talks begin- 9:30pm hometime or elsewhere Hosted by Meridian by Noon, in San Francisco.
