the masterclass
Reflect, learn and identify the triggers and blind spots that made you who you are. And how you’d like to design your self to excel and be mindful, in your work and life.
This masterclass will help you ask and answer incisive questions about what makes you who you are as a designer, and as a person. This will include enquiring into your relationships – with your self, with authority, with money, with failure & success. You will learn how you could deconstruct and reconstruct what it takes to bring your best self to work and to your life.
