Design should be more than just getting the job done—it should connect people and spark joy. As a non-profit design studio, Ash and Fiona team up with community-led projects in remote corners of the globe, trading their expertise for something to eat and somewhere to sleep. Through stories from Malawi to Colombia, see how human-centred design can create new spaces for empowerment and positive change. Join them as they discuss their approach to empowering founders, communities, and fostering change in people, place, and the planet.
Martin Grödl will bring us though the experimental approach of Process Studio whose work includes generative and interactive design while working in the fields of branding, web, installation and print. This session is at the boundaries of design and technology and showcases the potential for true interdisciplinary approaches.
