"Solving business problems at scale, through design"

Join us for our first guest speaker series! Arty Rivera the Head of Product Design at Bloomberg Government.

Arty Rivera a human-centered design advocate, strategist and leader, and a gardener of culture. He is currently Head of Product Design at Bloomberg Government.

Arty's digital product and user experience design career has included in-house as well as consulting roles in publishing and media, finance and banking, and online retail at brands spanning the Washington Post, CARFAX, Cisco Systems and Capital One. He is a co-founder of Design Thinking DC, which he helped to grow for 8 years into the largest Washington DC metro area meetup dedicated to deep experiences, conversation and connection around the topic of human-centered design, on which he has also been a regular guest lecturer at Georgetown University.

He is an alumni of the Mechanical Engineering / Product Design program at Stanford University.

Arty believes that applying human-centered design to business management, government service design and everything in between is critical to addressing the increasingly complex problems faced by people, organizations and societies today. "Human-centered design" is a perspective that can be adopted at any level in an organization, and whose return on investment grows exponentially in relation to the level of decision-making that it reaches inside that organization.

His highest professional goal is to both advocate for as well as apply this mindset such that it becomes a set of common, understood practices that no longer require a specialized label.
