The New York Chapter of the Service Design Network, historically called the NYC Service Design Collective, is a non profit run entirely by volunteers that aims to make Service Design more accessible as a discipline and methodology.
We do to this through –
Organizing events
Generating content
Acting as mentors
Community & Events
We love our community – we have folks who come to events regularly as well as those who prefer to join every once in a while. We have done our best to create a warm and engaging space for everyone who joins.
Welcoming
We are genuinely excited to see new and familiar faces at our events. We do our best to make sure people have a chance to get to know one another and develop some kind of a positive connection – whether it is simply during that particular event, our events ongoing or outside of what we offer if folks feel inclined to meet outside of our sessions.
Interactive
We highly value collaboration and try to make our events as interactive as possible. We believe this helps people build real relationships, learn more deeply, and spark conversation that can help us all grow together. We hold space at the beginning and end of all our events for people to chit chat freely in preparation for, or to debrief from, sessions.
Consistent
Hosting monthly events on the second Tuesday of every month helps community members plan ahead, core organizers coordinate guest speaker dates and provide reliability. We try to throw in an event or so outside of second Tuesdays to include those who may have ongoing conflicts as well when we can. This monthly cadence helps us all stay in touch.
Awards
From our first event at a crowded bar to winning a chapter award on stage at the Service Design Network Global Conference for an innovative events strategy – our mission to make Service Design more accessible remains the same.
