There’s never been a more important time to bring a strong design perspective into public service. In this panel, you’ll hear from Presidential Innovation Fellows (PIFs) who work hand-in-hand with leaders across the federal government to bring their talents in user experience, human-centered design, service design, implementation design and customer experience to key agencies and services. They’ll share their journeys from private-sector to public-sector, and what they’ve learned along the way, working on health product development, cross-agency customer experience, design innovation, and more. We’ll end with time for audience Q&A.

We'll also share details on the opportunity to join our next cohort of Presidential Innovation Fellows. Applications are open through May 14 at apply.pif.gov.
