Do we really know who we are designing for?
Is our creative design process optimized to guarantee equity and inclusion?
Do you know how to train your creativity muscles?
Are you curious to understand how to navigate ambiguity and be confident to create?

Every person has the ability to create and prototype by unleashing their self-expression potential.
Come and learn more about how to use your creativity muscles and to design inclusively.
