IA designers Jessica Roach and Kristen Harding hosted Choose Your Own Adventure: Sustainable Design in Real Time, an interactive webinar exploring how sustainability can shape experiential design decisions. Framed as a role-play exercise, attendees acted as CEOs of a fictional renewable energy company, Onyx Nova, and voted on design concepts for reception, conference, and corridor spaces.
Each option balanced sustainability, cost, and lead time, with input from fictionalized stakeholders (facilities, HR, finance) to mirror real-world trade-offs. The session highlighted the complexity of making environmentally conscious choices when budgets, schedules, and practicalities are at stake.
