đź“‹ DESCRIPTION

Everything is designed but only through informed intuition, is it well designed. In order to predict the future, we must observe the present and understand the past. Comprehending the world around us helps to create products, services, brands and experiences that best fit in people’s lives. The knowledge gained through methodologies, processes, and tools gives a solid foundation to design the future.

This talk will focus on how research methodologies enhance the design and branding processes through collaborative thinking. He will provide some insights from different approaches and projects. His consultancy, Created Equal was based on the principle that all thoughts are equal and the best solutions are discovered only when different perspectives come together. We look forward to a mix of perspectives for designing the future.
