This is Doctoring Up Design, a lively, interactive and educational series presented by Design Hardware and held in their ever evolving showroom on 3rd Street in Los Angeles. Doctoring Up Design was created to address your pain-points in the constantly changing world of design and architecture. Doctoring Up Design features The most knowledgeable and creative designers, architects, manufacturers and product designers in the business to help you build a healthy and strong design practice.

As California moves one step closer to an "All Electric" home environment, designers must learn how to work with and around all of the changing regulations. Because sustainable design is here to stay, this is a conversation about high design style on the cutting edge of performative technology. This panel features; Andre Saldivar is a Senior Engineer for Southern California Edison’s EEC in Irwindale. He manages the Foodservice Technology Center, engaged with energy efficiency testing on Foodservice equipment, customer demonstrations, and foodservice education seminars. Stephen Pallrand's background in construction, architecture, architectural history, painting, and set design has aided him in pulling together the diverse group of artists, craftsmen, architects and designers who work on the CarbonShack projects. His father was a scientist/educator and his mother an educator and patron of the arts. Ben Stapleton is an LA native who brings a creative mind and consultative approach to a wide range of projects with a focus on building teams and designing programs to deliver impactful results. His current work is based on coordinating an ecosystem leveraging the built environment as the entry point and connective fabric to help create a more sustainable society for all as Executive Director for the U.S. Green Building Council - Los Angeles.
