The Seattle Interactive Conference partnered with Mary’s Place to debut a unique format that brought together design teams to work on the homeless crisis. Design Swarming is a collaborative innovation technique that brings together the empathy of design thinking and agility of hackathons to create disruptive solutions to social and business problems. 500 families, many with multiple children, sleep outside in Seattle every night. A newly declared civil emergency by Mayor Ed Murray is highlighting a new level of desperation. The people at Mary's Place are now looking for solutions in places they never before considered.
