Talk: Mindfulness transforming design methods

Design challenges, whether simple or complex, require us to think in new ways. Along with our technical and intrapersonal capabilities, a designer needs to be able to draw conclusions and arrive at insights that answer design challenges and serve elegant experiences. In today’s interactive workshop we practice how we might use simple mindfulness practices throughout the design process to transform our work. We will share a few simple tools that amplify our expertise and expand our worldviews empowering the design process to unfold. Be prepared to interact. All materials provided.

Together let us be protected, be fortunate and

unite our mental forces in strength for the benefit of all.

Let our efforts and learning be illuminated, joyful, and filled with purpose.

Let us hold no hate for one another so that we may spread peace.
