Helps people be creative together when they are far apart.
Glenn Fajardo connects to create. He is focused on the question of how we can be creative together when we are far apart and in different cultural contexts. At the d.school he co-leads the immersive course Design Across Borders, bringing students across the world together to explore design thinking, remote collaboration, and cross-cultural interplay.
Glenn was formerly the Director of the Co-Design Practice of the TechSoup Global Network at TechSoup, a nonprofit social enterprise founded on the belief that technology can be a powerful enabler for greater social change. He has collaborated with NGO partners around the world in places such as Nairobi, Buenos Aires, and Kuala Lumpur to try new social impact ideas more quickly.
Formally trained in nuclear engineering sciences and public policy, Glenn also plays electric bass and likes to cook in other people’s kitchens.
