SydDT #118: Wicked Solutions for Wicked Problems with Frank Newman

Details

We're lucky to have Frank Newman leading us through an interactive workshop to learn new fun and innovative design skills that are so good (and WICKED) that they're guaranteed to get you in trouble!

In our Wicked Solutions for Wicked Problems workshop, we'll dive into a world of playful creativity and hands-on activities designed to spark your imagination and expand your designer's toolkit.

Wickedly fun and full of surprises.

Don't miss out on the chance to learn a groundbreaking design technique that will elevate your creative process.

WHAT TO EXPECT
What we'll be doing... and how to get the most out of this workshop.

We'll be attempting to solve a real-life problem for a social enterprise.

Bring friends, colleagues, and team members so you can work and learn together. By working in teams, you'll be able to take these skills and apply them to your own design and problem solving practices.
