Designer in residence workshops

There are places available to register for two workshops with Designer in Residence Jonathan Butters on Friday 13th December.

The sessions are:

How to find and brief a designer 9.30am – 11.00am

• Once you have a specification and a brief you can try to find some talent to help deliver a great solution
• An interactive journey to find who else might be relevant and help them understand how the process of selection is often very informative and can help focus the project

 

Design as an engine of commercialisation 11.30am – 1.30pm

• Examples and discussion of how the design process fits into the commercialisation process for innovative products and services
