Intro to Impact Design
Designing Change with Clarity, Courage, and Community
Intro to Impact Design is a story-driven, visually rich session that invites audiences to rethink how change happens—and their role in shaping it. Through the Lenspeace Impact Design Framework, this session introduces a regenerative approach to problem-solving rooted in systems thinking, lived experience, and creative practice.
This is not a lecture.
It’s an entry point into a new way of seeing.
What This Presentation Offers
A Grounded Understanding of Impact Design
Participants learn what Impact Design is, why it matters now, and how it creates more resilient outcomes than traditional, linear problem-solving models.
A Systems-Lens that Feels Human
Instead of abstract theory, the session uses clear visuals, real stories from land reclamation and community food justice, and accessible frameworks to show how systems shape behavior, barriers, and possibilities.
Pathways for Regenerative Action
The presentation outlines the foundational practices—observation, multiple truths, failure harvest, systems mapping, and backcasting—that support more aligned, equitable, and community-rooted solutions.
An Invitation to Imagine Better Futures
Audiences leave with sparks of clarity:
What is the world asking of us? What becomes possible when we design for connection instead of control?
The session opens the door for deeper work, workshops, and project-based engagement.
