Mike Monteiro - Burning Down Design

Mike Monteiro sets fire to design orthodoxy, tech overlords, and his own Portuguese American history in this delightfully dark conversation.
Highlights include:
Why is it important to re-examine your beliefs?
Why do you have nothing further to tell people?
What shocked you about your Portuguese heritage?
How is unionisation a positive thing for tech workers?

With a unmissable emphasis on ethics, Mike pulls-no-punches as he singles out the failings of design and the industries that employ it, while also illuminating the opportunities and challenges we face - as designers - to right the ship.
His talks, like “How Designers Destroyed the World”, “How to Fight Fascism”, “My People Were In Shipping” and “Let’s Destroy Silicon Valley” have raised more than a few eyebrows, heart rates and figurative pitch forks.
