INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Robert Fabricant is Co-Founder of Dalberg Design, where he brings human-centered design and systems thinking to clients looking for creative approaches to breakthrough innovation and expanded collaborations in social impact and community engagement. He leads an extremely diverse team with studios in Dakar, Mexico City, Mumbai, Nairobi and New York, leveraging Dalberg’s global footprint and capabilities. Much of his portfolio is focused on public health, serving as the lead design partner to USAID’s Global Health Bureau. A born and raised New Yorker, Robert began his career at a local criminal justice non-profit focused on New York State court reform where he worked at both a grassroots and policy level to drive positive change in the lives of New Yorkers.
In this episode, Robert reflects on his journey from his work in criminal justice advocacy to becoming a systems designer with a focus on public health systems and social innovation. He talks about the importance of collaboration and taking a long-term horizon to make positive social change. As he critically reflects on his practice, he stresses the importance of thinking about power dynamics when doing design work with under-resourced communities in the USA and in the Global South.
