Event Replay—Making What Matters: A Conversation with MAD Designer in Residence, Tony Fadell

“Making What Matters” introduces Tony Fadell as the inaugural MIT MAD Designer in Residence.

Fadell joins Paola Antonelli, Senior Curator of Architecture and Design at MoMA, for a wide-ranging conversation on how design decisions shape technology, daily life, and the futures we imagine. Drawing from decades of experience building world-changing products, Fadell reflects on responsibility in design, learning from failure, and what it truly means to make things worth making.

Presented by MIT MAD, this talk explores the intersection of design, innovation, ethics, and impact, challenging designers, technologists, and creators to think more critically about the systems and products they put into the world.
