“I'm fairly introverted which I find a lot of people are surprised by given the number of events that I've run over the years. I don't actually like attending events where I don't have a fairly structured role to play. I think to some extent being the organizer of the event gave me a role and job responsibilities. It helped me as an introvert feel more comfortable.” - Joe Robinson By day, Joe Robinson is the Co-Founder of Hummingbird , a new service focused on fighting financial crime. But today we’re talking to him about his side project, a community he sparked called Designers + Geeks . Joe started Designers + Geeks for people who, like him, love design, art, and technology. For the past decade, they’ve been featuring monthly speakers on niche topics - designing for all human senses, designing for dyslexia, designing for accessibility, designing for stigma - bringing people together in cities like San Francisco and New York. This was not Joe’s first time around the block with community building. He founded Live Music SF and led Silicon Valley NewTech , a sister event to New York Tech and the first ever series on Meetup.
