description nil → <p>On Thursday, May 11th, <b><a href="https://secondstory.com/">Second Story</a> </b>will host Women Who Code Portland’s monthly Networking Night in their new design studio.</p> <p><br><a href="https://secondstory.com"><b>Second Story</b></a> is a network of experiential design studios working across the cultural and brand landscapes to elevate the art of storytelling. They build stories you can step inside of.</p> <p>The theme for the night is <b>Make It Happen: Improvising, Collaborating, Prototyping</b>. The format of the night is an “around the world”; after the welcome, we will break into 3 smaller groups and each smaller group will attend every session they offer. The night will be centered around how we work collaboratively, create prototypes that help us push the boundaries, and the leadership styles that make it all possible. </p> <p>We hope you’ll join us. <b><a href="https://secondstory.com/">Second Story</a> </b>is absolutely thrilled to host us in their new studio!</p> <p> <b>Program</b></p> <p>6:00pm - 6:30pm – Doors Open + Networking</p> <p>6:30pm - 7:40pm – Welcome + Around the World Sessions</p> <p>7:30pm - 8:00pm – Networking   </p> <p> <b>Session #1 - Improvising To Become Better Collaborators</b></p> <p>We’re a highly collaborative studio making work that none of us could possibly produce on our own. Needless to say we have to be excellent listeners and collaborators. So that means we have to practice. <b><a href="https://twitter.com/laura_allcorn?lang=en">Laura Allcorn</a>, Creative Lead and Sr. Experience Designer</b>, will lead a brief improvisation workshop that we’ve used to help us brush up on our listening and collaboration skills. If the thought of this makes you nervous, please know this isn’t a performance and trying to be funny will be frowned upon!</p> <p><b>Session #2 - Getting Real Fast</b></p> <p>Prototyping is a necessity in our work. Our project teams will share how we prototype and why we do it. You’ll get a behind the scenes look at examples from projects with major museums and brands. Along the way we’ll share key learnings and show you how they evolved the experiences we ultimately created.</p> <p><b>Session #3 - Confronting Unconscious Bias OR Exposing Unconscious Bias OR Addressing Unconscious Bias</b></p> <p><b><a href="https://twitter.com/kelseysnook?lang=en">Kelsey Snook</a>, Creative Director</b>, will facilitate a discussion about women in leadership roles. We’ll share our approach to tackling unconscious bias with our Make Some Room campaign, an effort to increase inclusivity in the tech and creative fields.</p> <p> <b>About Second Story</b></p> <p><a href="https://secondstory.com/"><b>Second Story</b></a> is a network of experiential design studios working across the cultural and brand landscapes to elevate the art of storytelling.
