Climatetech needs a generation of designers building great products and services that help make communities resilient against climate change

Climatetech Needs Designers

Why is Post content so much prettier than any other social network right now?

If anyone wants an ambitious architectural side project, redesigning rest stops in the US would be great. They are important, but they often are dirty and have bad amenities.

Wild ask - anyone here build a tiny home or live in one? Curious about your experience.

Some more intro:

- son of Viet war refugees, raised by a single mom
- pulled myself out of being poor with a lot of help, sweat, luck and bad jokes
- dog dad with partner Justin
- loves hummus, baba ganoush, creamy spreads
- gay gay gay 🌈

Are you a designer interested in climatetech? Vitaly Friedman, of Smashing Mag, shared this big list of climatetech resources for designers https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7041351002741952512?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios

Um so this Post thing seems pretty sweet but some of this text is not accessible? Read.cv how do we submit a request? Sorry to be that designer… 😅

I wish book content was responsive to the form factor of delivery. Hearing an ebook tell me to look at a line diagram isn’t going to happen while I’m driving. 🤷‍♂️

If every designer you meet who works on climate looks depressed, just type in IPCC into Google and you’ll know why 😭

Have you been to Boise ID? What’s good to check out there?

In 2020 I read the news constantly and volunteered for 3 different political orgs at the same time. 

In 2023 I’m still engaged but have much bigger boundaries with constant political updates for my sanity and peace.

Is anyone on here using Figma for crochet/knitting/embroidery pattern making? 🪡🧵👾

Lots of new folks on here everyday! A little about me:

- Designer in Seattle, focused on climatetech
- thinking about housing / sustainability as a next side project focus
- gay Vietnamese dude, son of war refugees

Say hello!

If I can help set talented folks up with roles (freelance or full time), let me know! Tons of folks I know in climate are looking for design help. :)

I’d love all the awesome designers I know to do a “tour of duty” in climatetech.

Big impact. Ability to create new patterns. Lots of learning. Unlimited opportunity.

With my ailing grandmother, good reminder that health is everything

Who are people you like who are great at building in public? (Personal projects, businesses and more)

For any designers looking to explore climatetech, happy to chat. I also wrote a quick post about it a while ago. https://alextran.ghost.io/climatetech-needs-designers-now/amp/

I wanna start a mega thread of all the rad, trans, non-binary and gender-non-conforming folks here. Roll call in the comments so we can follow one another 🏳️‍⚧️📣🏳️‍⚧️

If you’re an ally, give us a boost! 🙏

As I’ve gotten older I’ve become better and better about protecting slack in my schedule so I’m more free for rest or sudden opportunities.

Am I the only weirdo that likes deck design?

Where did all the climate tech & sustainability designers go 👀 I’m running some charrettes with an incubator in Los Angeles (iykyk) and I need domain experts. 

Really doing my best to get more creatives into these business spaces.

One of my creative passions is learning to propagate edible plants. My favorite being fig trees.

I am excited for the first meet-cute on Post 😍

Some more intro:
- alum of Pivotal labs design practice and Fortune 100s like IBM and VMware
- last worked at a food waste startup called Shelf Engine here in Seattle
- live by 3 Ps - plants 🪴 puppies 🐶 pickleball 🏓

Great job Post team y’all shipping shipping 🫡

Anyone here in Pheonix AZ? What’s good?

Any entrepreneurs or solo business people on here? Would love to follow and learn from ya. 🤩

Went to a makerspace inside of an urban farm in Gilbert, AZ and found this 🤩

How are people feeling about Framer? Worth it to learn for a side project?

Happy to see my boo @alextran tonight.💛🍻

Um can we hold select and copy text on here? Just tried on iOS…

Seattle folks in here, do y’all want to meet up irl now that the weather is getting warm and sunny? 👀

Climate designers are gonna do work on, and talk about, climate. Some of y’all were sad about that when I mentioned the recent IPCC report? 

I don’t know what to say except that climate change is real, and it’s a great space for designers to work in/make a huge impact. 🤷‍♂️

Sometimes when we forage for fruit we have a little helper #hobbies

I feel like all my tech friends are finding me here, hope this thing works out 🥹

Now that I’ve found morels growing in our garden, my memoir can be the “Accidental Mushroom Forager.”

*Tap tap* is this on?

Hey I’m Alex (on the left). I’m a designer in Seattle. There is tons of opportunity for designers in #climatetech so after ending my last job, I’m on a road trip with my fam (WA-OR-CA-AZ-UT) to talk to climate entrepreneurs and see what’s new!

Post has a bunch of accessibility issues but I can see it really taking off 🛫

What was your experience of the 2008-2010 recession? How did you adapt (if at all)?
