In this talk, Patrick will share essential soft skills needed to design at scale and how to build those skills to the betterment of your career and the world around us. Patrick craves taking on the most complex design problems he can find regardless of the medium or context. He passionately advocates for elevating the humanity within institutions to ensure both business and community sustainability.
