Calling all students studying - or simply passionate about - design.

Are you curious about how design thinking shapes careers in design? 🎨
Then this event is for you!

Join us for an inspiring evening where you’ll get insider perspectives on two very different ways of working with design thinking - in a large, established company and in a fast-moving startup.

Design thinking will be the core of the conversation, branching out into related topics such as service design, UX/UI, research, and user-centric decision making across different fields.

We’re bringing in Michael McKay, Vice President for Digital Products at Novo Nordisk, who applies strategic design thinking at scale - tackling complex challenges, creating user-centred solutions, and driving innovation in projects that impact thousands (or even millions) of users.

Alongside him, you’ll hear from a startup (TBA) who uses design thinking to rapidly ideate, prototype, and bring creative concepts to life in a lean and agile environment.

They’ll each share their journey - the challenges they’ve faced, the creative processes they follow, and what it’s really like to work with design thinking in two very different contexts.

After their talks, we’ll have a Q&A session where you can ask your burning questions about careers in design, industry trends, and how to apply design thinking in your own work.

Whether you’re aiming for a role in a global organisation or dreaming of launching your own business, this event is a great opportunity to gain valuable insights and get inspired for your future in design.

Snacks, sodas and a light meal will be served.

When: Tuesday, 7 October

Time: 16.10-18.15

Where: ITU (Room TBA)

Please register, so we know how much food to order.
