Joe Speicher is the Executive Director of the Autodesk Foundation, which "supports the people and organizations using design for positive social and environmental impact." Autodesk creates design software, and the Autodesk Foundation focuses on "lighthouse" roles in bringing attention to design thinking and projects as well as software donations and related support.

Joe talks about the renewed work of the Foundation in design thinking, collaboration with other partners in this space, and the global impact of design on both physical assets and the cultures and people who use them.
