Stanford d.school's Design and Creativity Book Series
Come celebrate this 10-book series with Carissa Carter and Dr. Susie Wise!

Join us at Mechanics' Institute for an in-person celebration of Stanford d.school's ten books, published by Ten Speed Press. These books are delightful, compact paperbacks filled with mindsets to help you think like a designer and methods to give you the tools to navigate the ambiguous, sticky challenges you face.

Join Carissa Carter (author of The Secret Language of Maps: How to Tell Visual Stories with Data and co-author of the upcoming Assembling Tomorrow) and Dr. Susie Wise (author of Design for Belonging) for a lively book talk about all things design and creativity!
