Summary

Dolly Parikh reflects on her transition from a long career in UX, Product, and Information Architecture to her current work as an Impact Strategist and Social Entrepreneur advancing sustainable development. She shares how Human‑Centered Design, Systems Thinking, and Innovation Practices became the foundation for her shift into Ecosystem Conservation at The Nature Conservancy and her mentorship of Global Social Ventures. This session offers UX practitioners an inside look at how design skills translate beyond the tech industry and how they can be leveraged to drive regenerative, systems‑level impact in the social and environmental sector.
