The worldviews we build with: Why good design starts in the spirit

This event will be online on [YouTube](https://youtu.be/0KA1MIUltLo) and in-person (New York City). **The speaker and live stream starts at 7:30 pm ET**. In-person attendees may arrive as early as 7 pm ET. If arriving late, please leave a comment on this page and someone will come down ASAP. **Description** Every product we ship carries a worldview. "Efficiency is paramount." "Scale is the goal." "User engagement is the gateway.” Most of us don’t pause to reflect on what foundations we're building within ourselves. Stuff that feels too nebulous and exists out there, instead of in us, in here. This isn't a talk about "bad actors." It's about the rest of us. The well-intentioned designers, PMs, and engineers whose unexamined defaults quietly shape what gets built, who it serves, and who it harms. Drawing on indigenous learnings from Aotearoa New Zealand, and examples from accessibility and AI design, we'll explore what happens when we treat worldview work as foundational rather than optional. Elina Ashimbayeva is determined to find hope amid humanity's existential crisis! Join Elina! This session will focus on examples and allow people to interact with each other to reflect on our individual and team practices and worldviews. Because you can't change a practice without first changing the soil it grows in. Attendees will leave with ... * A clearer view of the worldviews running underneath your own work * Language to name them with your team * Examples of how different worldviews produce radically different products - especially in AI and accessibility * A small set of tools and prompts for doing worldview work as part of practice, not separate from it. **Presenter bio** [Elina Ashimbayeva](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elina-ashimbayeva/) is a product manager, community builder, and facilitator with over a decade of work across healthcare, education, and social impact. Originally from Kazakhstan and Aotearoa New Zealand, she is now based in New York. Elina has led product and discovery work at Health New Zealand, designed the Equitable Product Cohort on ethics and equity in tech, and run a storytelling community, Storyo. Her practice sits at the intersection of human-centred design, values-led leadership, and the harder, slower work of shifting the worldviews underneath how teams actually operate. She recently launched Making Good Money, a podcast on financial transparency with founders of mission-driven ventures, where she talks about the values that we make decisions from, in life and in work. Elina loves dancing, poetry and, notable mention, mayonnaise. **Accessibility** The presentation will have human captions [CC], not automatic captions.

NYC Networking & Social Event

Get tickets at: [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/679734583437](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/679734583437) **WHAT IS A SECRET NETWORKING EVENT?** This event is for those who want to network for business or just want to come out and socialize. Whether you are an entrepreneur, small business owner, business professional or just someone who wants to meet new people, this event is for you! It's the perfect opportunity to get away from your desk, have some cocktails and network with potential business partners, investors, industry professionals and new clients.... Or make some new friends! We've witnessed countless business connections and friendships form at our past events. We'd say about 70% of the crowd is usually single so it can be a great place to meet someone special as well. A Secret Networking Event is a revolutionary new event that is changing the way people network in NYC. It is a fun and easy way to connect with others in a relaxed, low pressure environment. **SECRET SYMBOL** After you sign up we'll send you an email with a list of different industries and interests to choose from. Each industry/interest will have a different "secret symbol". This secret symbol will let the other event attendees know what industry/industries you're in or what topic/topics you're interested in. Once you select what industry and/or topics you're interested in you'll be directed to a page with printable paper bracelet templates with your secret symbol on them. You can select one industry or multiple industries or topics. If you don't have access to a printer you can simply draw the secret symbol/s on the back of your hand with a marker or pen before arriving at the event. For example... those in the tech industry might have a triangle as their secret symbol... those in the real estate industry might have a square as their secret symbol... those single and looking to potentially meet someone special might have a circle as their secret symbol... those interested in crypto might have a lightning bolt as their secret symbol, etc. Then you simply show up at the venue at the listed start time and get started meeting people. **\*\* EVENT LOCATION IS LISTED ON THE EVENTBRITE PAGE \*\*** *\* QUICK NOTE: THIS IS A MULTI-MEETUP GROUP EVENT. 25 OTHER GROUPS HAVE ALSO BEEN INVITED SO WE'LL BE SURE TO HAVE A GOOD SIZE TURNOUT. THE RSVP LIST ON MEETUP ONLY REFLECTS A SMALL PORTION OF ACTUAL ATTENDEES.* *An email we received about one of our recent events: "Thank you so much for throwing such a great event. The crowd was really great and everyone was super friendly. As a busy professional I don't get that much time to get out and meet people so it was nice to be in such a relaxed environment.
